Wild, wonderful laws in Wyo.
The Casper Wyoming Star-Tribune reports that Wyoming's Mormon lawmakers, who seldom vote as a block in the Legislature, seem to be joining together to push social legislation, including bans on assisted suicide, abortion and, naturally, gay marriage.The eight Mormon lawmakers, who make up about 10 percent of the Wyoming Legislature, say their collective support for the bills is more coincidence than strategy.
But some Wyoming social-issue advocacy groups (Wyoming has social-issue advocacy groups?) are troubled. Dan Neal, executive director of the Laramie-based Equality State Policy Center worries about that old church-state thing:
It raises some serious questions about how we want to make our laws in this state. Churches that believe one way or another shouldn’t be forcing things in their direction.To which LDS spokesman Mike Otterson and I would have to say: Whoa, Dan. Reread your Constitution. Churches have every right to muck around in politics, even in the Brokeback Mountain State.

I wish Utah only had 8 mormon legislators
And so, the disease spreads.
Could we not confine mormons to Utah? Maybe to the Antelope Island state park?
What a plague!
I think if Churches are going to muck around in politics, they should pay their share of the taxes!
Sure, we will gladly confine Mormons to antelope island when I can confine all gays and lesbians to Fire Island.
How will you confine anyone like that from Antelope Island? We won't be providing you with phone or internet. Sorry :(
Besides, the gays won't hear you, as they'll be celebrating the exile of the momos and the music will be too loud.

You tell tem. Who needs diversity.
Since when are the lord's sheeple "diversity"? They all look the same, speak the same, vote the same, think the same.
If you go to their homes (I have been in a couple), they have the same ugly furniture and the same range of jello salads.
I'm all for diversity. I'm all for organizing tours to see the mormons in their natural habitat on Antelope Island. They can make jello salads to tell to tourists.
Kind of like the Amish, except the food sucks and there's really nothing of interest.
