Those kisses weren't wasted

The church's whole-hearted support for Salt Lake City's anti-discrimination ordinances apparently grew from a series of secret meetings between representatives of the LDS Church and gay rights activists following a wave of "kiss-in" rallies on church-owned Main Street Plaza. As gay rights activists continue to push for same-sex civil unions, two possible conclusions could be drawn from last night:

1. The church is open to reasonable dialogue on gay rights issues.

2. The church will only talk when pressured by the threat of embarrassing public demonstrations near its temples.

The church obviously hoped to send the first message. But gay rights activists will remember the second.
