Indigo over Prop 8
You just can't get away from the echoes of Proposition 8 in Utah. If the local queer community isn't protesting it, the Eagle Forum and Sutherland Institute are invoking the California ban on same-sex marriage to crush the gay rights initiative in the Legislature.

This weekend, Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls, whose solo tour is in Salt Lake this weekend, will likely bend our ears about it between sets. In an interview with the Tribune's David Burger, Ray, a Georgia native, is well aware that Salt Lake has a progressive community, despite the so-called dominant culture.
We should use the Mormons as a way of understanding each other. There are good things that come out of [the Mormon faith], if it wasn't for the prejudices.

The LDS church showed prejudice in supporting of Prop. 8.

The LDS shouldn't be involved in that. I thought it was a stupid way to spend your money. It's just wrong.

Ray will perform tonight at the Avalon Theater.

Stupid way to spend your money?....Yes all Mormons should spend money on gay things like:

*CD collections of Pet Shop Boys, Village People, and Patsy Cline, ABBA, Cher, and Cyndi Lauper.
*3 different gyms/health clubs memberships.
* When mowing the lawn, wear a mesh tank-top, tattered denim shorts, and Doc Martins with a huge pickle duct taped to you thigh.
* magazine subscriptions to Ensign? No way! Get Girlfriends, Out, and Martha Stewart Living.
* Never excel in sports except certain water sports.
* tiki torches and the gold candelabra on the picnic table at your Boy Scout Camps.
* Wear super-tight, white-ribbed T-shirts or anything that shows your nipples.
* open the car door for another man before he gets in himself.
* Artdeco Kleenex dispenser, more pictures of Marilyn Monroe than you can count, more than two cappuccino machines in the kitchen, and weird pets.
* Make your favorite super hero Wonder Woman.
* Dye your hair pink and get more plastic surgery than michael jackson!
* Get fired from the sperm bank??
Because you were caught drinking on the job.
* Support Aids! Always in deep shit
*
* Mormon women throw away you marriage licenses, you just need a licker license!

God, she really looks like a man in this photo. I mean, I am not talking a little dykish, I am talking about standing-up-to-pee dykish.
Yikes. I lover her music and message as a lesbian, but you couldn't have found a softer gentler photo, Glen?
