Dragging geology into it
Now every time senators Chris Buttars and Michael Waddoups look at the Utah license plate bearing the Delicate Arch they'll think: #@&* gays! On Saturday, more than 60 people will hike to the iconic landmark in Arches National Park to rally support for Equality Utah's Common Ground Initiative, a package of bills that will ensure the rights of same-sex couples. Organizer Michael Mueller, founder of the Facebook community Utahns for Marriage Equality, says that the Delicate Arch is a symbol of equity: We're all Utahns first -- gay, straight, whatever.
The National Park Service has issued a rarely sought First Amendment permit to the group.

I wish I could be there! I am so proud of everyone who is involved in this movement.
The Common Ground initiative is about more than rights for same sex couples: It has to do with rights for all by eliminating legal discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.
This initiative seeks to protect single gays as well as transgender citizens of this state.
Marriage Equality is certainly an important issue to the LGBT (gay & transgender)community but it is certainly not the only nor is it the most important issue to our community as a whole.
Yawn...who cares.
I've got more showing up at my ward's Gospel Doctrine class. 0.003% of Utahns will show. The other 99.997% probably will be working hard to keep their jobs.
Well ain't that special. Why don't you write an article for your ward newsletter. I am sure they'll all be proud.
Meanwhile, those of us who believe in fairness for all of us including you will be working to achieve just that.
I figure since you can't win via the ballot or the legislature, you will just convince some federal judge to force gay marriage onto everyone. Just change the rules like all liberals try to do.
OMG!!! This is just earth-shattering news!! Just curious, did Joni used to be Johnnie?
That's funny.... but no. Nice try though... I have to ask the question: What difference would that make?
The way things are today in this country and especially in this state and most especially within the LDS Church, most people who would identify as gay or transgender would not tell you anyway.
With the most conservative estimates of the number of transgender citizens of this state being upwards of 4000 to 5000, it is very likely that some of the women you know (and men you know)in your church have a past that includes transitioning from the other gender into the one in which they present presently. You do not know.
The tagline on Utah's license plate should say "Emissions Elevated" with all of the applications for coal-fired power plants in view of the Delicate Arch and elsewhere in the state...
