The brains behind that ad
UPDATE . . .Q SaltLake digs into the background of the folks behind the full-page anti-Common Ground Initiative ad that ran Sunday in The Tribune and Deseret News. The Tribune adds additional information here.
Among other revelations about the brother-sister founders of America Forever, Sandra Rodrigues and Jonas M. R. Filho, Q SaltLake reports:
Anti-gay rights, but pro-illegal immigrant activists? Untangling that will put a hurtin' on the heads of some conservative allies in the Legislature.Rodrigues immigrated to the United States in 1975. Indeed, several years of the group's efforts were around the rights of children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants. They started an initiative called "Save the Innocence" calling on the government to address the problem.
The group came to the attention of authorities in 1999 after complaints from the Mexican consulate said it was selling identification cards for $200 to illegal residents that ask the Immigration and Naturalization Service not to deport them. . . .
It was decided that, while the identification cards were worthless, they were not illegal.

On the topic of the advertorial on homosexuality I have only this to say... WOW! Are these people, and I use that term loosely, for real? Never in my life have a read such vitriolic and vile hate-speak. If anyone needs to be ashamed of themselves, it should be these scared little individuals.I am not gay, but have two cousins who are. Anyone that really believes that being gay is a choice has no clue as to what they are speaking about.I see that the two people that put this toilet paper in the newspaper are Mexicans,who came here in the mid seventies. How would they feel if people "demanded" they change their race and the color of their skin? Even if they wanted to, it can't be done; for you see, THEY WERE BORN THAT WAY! A leopard can't change his spots, and either can someone who is gay. Leave them alone and let them be who they are. Nothing you people do or say will change them. Take care of the weeds in your own garden, and let them to hoe their own rows. You are filled with fear... scared little people that have too much time on their hands, and too much money to spend on such nonsense
I love the fact that they placed their anti-gay ad in the Arts section of the weekend Tribune. Not the religion or the local section, but the arts section. That cracks me up.
Talk about a poodle peeing on a rottweilers gate.
