  1. That's where I was getting at. xD Yes, they were in the right when it comes to the law. However the couple was singled out because they were gay. Which is why I'm complaining. x3
  2. Okay guys, here's another article. Mind you that this one has a bias as does the one for queerty. I'll try to find the link to the two guy's blog. SALT LAKE CITY -- Two men say they were singled out and treated unfairly by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint because they're gay. Salt Lake City police arrested the two for trespassing when they were asked to leave the Church's Main Street Plaza but refused to do so. On Thursday night, Derek Jones and his boyfriend, Matt, walked through the plaza holding hands. One reportedly kissed the other, and that's when security guards asked them to leave. "We were called at about 10:25 p.m. by LDS security to come over to their property where two males were in custody for refusing to leave the property," explained Salt Lake police Sgt. Robin Snyder said. The couple was cited for trespassing. Snyder says the law allows the owner of a property to kick someone out for any reason. "A property owner has the right to ask someone to leave their property. If they do not leave that property, then they have violated an ordinance, a Salt Lake City ordinance, which is trespassing. So, the police became involved," Snyder said. The Church released a statement saying the couple was "asked to stop engaging in inappropriate behavior just as any other couple would have been. They became argumentative and used profanity and refused to leave the property. They were arrested and then given a citation for criminal trespass by SLPD." "If this is a public place, such as a park, that's a whole different story," Snyder said. But Jones paints a different picture. In a blog, Jones wrote: "This especially irked the both of us because having walked through on a frequent basis (we often walk to work through there) and every time I have been through there are either marriage ceremonies going on, young Mormon couples cuddling in front the fountain, hugging, holding hands, etc. "Matt then tried to get them to admit they were singling us out because they just didn't approve of 'gay' public displays of affection, baiting them into revealing their bigotry." Courtesy of ksl.com Also remember, where they were standing is used for the public as the other article stated.
  3. Like I've said, I've been to that place lots of times. I've seen lots of straight couples kissing and the security guards did nothing about them. Yes, they were in the legal right to do this. I still think they were singled out because they were gay.
  4. It was the LDS security guards that called the police in the first place.
  5. As far as I know, they weren't asked to leave but asked to stop the "inappropriate" behavior. It's when they refused (probably saying "well, you wouldn't do the same for straight couples" or something like that) the security guards called the police.
  6. Apparently. That's why I think (know) that they were singled out. D':
  7. So, I just read something that really made me quite...Well angry. Apparently two men kissed on LDS church property (Not at a church nor a temple) and supposedly were asked the "inappropriate" behavior and leave. They refused and were actually arrested for trespassing. You can read the article here. http://www.queerty.c...r-man-20090711/ I for one think that this was uncalled for. The LDS church states that they weren't singled out because they were gay, and they would have asked any couple kissing to stop. I've been there before more than once, and I've seen lots of straight couples making out. Did the security guards even say anything to them? Nope. Yes, they are legally able to do this but still. I think it's an abuse of power. What do you guys think?
  8. So thanks for your replies. >.< now I just need to learn how to stick with it.
  9. So, every time I see a hear about a hot gay guy on program. (Feast of Fun most of the time) They all say they were the 'big' kids in High School. (So I have hope!) So, I was wondering if that was true for a lot of you? Or if those are just rare cases. If it is true, how'd you loose the weight? I'd really like to know. ^^; If it isn't, how do you keep the weight off? I'd also like to know that too. >.>
  10. Well I put a rss feed on my msn, and I got updates about certain topics. Then I figured it was about time to join. x3 I haven't read anything yet, but I soooo want to. :3
  11. >.> <.< I guess I introduce myself here? Hola ^^ x'3
