I guess this is what passes for a constructive and healthy dialog on the
issues in the *** community. While not all gays did this, I would suspect
that a number of them are in solidarity with the act. This is the kind of
thing that gives gays low standing in the community. And exactly why I
voted against *** marriage. This kind of thing will continue until the rest
of us make it clear that there will be NO acceptance of the homosexual
community so long as they resort to militant activist methods.

White powder sent to Mormon temples in Utah, LA
Nov 13, 10:08 PM (ET)
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Letters containing a suspicious white powder were sent
Thursday to Mormon temples in Los Angeles and Salt Lake City that were the
sites of protests against the church's support of California's *** marriage
ban.
The temple in the Westwood area of Los Angeles was evacuated before a
hazardous materials crew determined the envelope's contents were not toxic,
said FBI spokesman Jason Pack.
The temple in downtown Salt Lake City, where the church is based, received a
similar envelope containing a white powder that spilled onto a clerk's hand.
The room was decontaminated and the envelope taken by the FBI for testing.
The clerk showed no signs of illness, but the scare shut down a building at
Temple Square for more than an hour, said Scott Freitag, a spokesman for the
Salt Lake City Fire Department.
None of the writing on the envelope was threatening, and the church received
no calls or messages related to the package, Freitag said.
Protests in recent days have targeted the Mormon church, which encouraged
its members to fight the recently passed amendment banning *** marriage in
California.
Authorities are looking into several theories on who sent the letters and
why, Pack said.
Anthrax mailed as a white powder to Washington lawmakers and media outlets
killed five people and sickened 17 just weeks after the attacks of September
11, 2001. Periodic hoaxes modeled on the anthrax mailings have popped up
since then but usually prove harmless.
