The Tribune carried an amped-up Sunday ad paid for by America Forever spewing crazy talk against the Common Ground gay-rights initiative and Gov. Jon Huntsman's support of civil unions. (Threats of subscription cancellations are rolling in to the Trib, but with legislation afoot to deprive the newspaper industry of its final refuge of legal ads, we'll take anything we can get.*)America Forever is the same group that offered lesbian lawmaker Rep. Chris Johnson an unsolicited critique on the use of her vagina.
But Dan Wade, a self-described gay in Salt Lake City says Huntsman's stand on civil unions was cynical, not courageous: I am one gay citizen who finds his support of civil unions to be nothing short of a hoax.
The Daily Herald opines that Huntsman is aspiring to national office with his moderate stand: But if the governor is thinking of higher office, he ought to embrace Utah, not try to run away from it.
A boycott of Ken Garff auto dealerships apparently continues (the matriarch of the Garff family gave $100,000 in support of California's Proposition 8) provoking the LeftCoastConservative blog to wonder what happened to the all-things-Utah boycott?You know, the Gay leadership is not doing so well here with their boycotts. Maybe they should actually do something that would make a difference. Like focusing on wiping out hunger in America. They seem to have a lot of surplus cash. What could all that money do if they poured it into America’s food banks?

Forever America?! Not where I come from. The half-truths and hate mongering was all too real in this ad. What was the SL Trib thinking?! The SL Tribune can't be THAT desperate for ad revenue! What's next - a skin-head/Neo-Nazi recruiting 'ad'!? As a long time married woman, your ad was offensive and cruel to even the straight people! Time to get a new ad editor.
I liked it...It was a nice counter balance to all the loonies lefties spewing crazy talk on the SLTRIB everyday!
Seeing the black dude kissing his wife reminded me of the Gay
Activists who say homosexuality is just like skin color? But one can't help but notice, there are thousands of former homosexuals, but no former blacks or Hispanics!
Warchol, I hated the ad, but respect their right to advertise (just like the dude from Park City and his ad not too long ago).
