One hundred representatives from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be marching at the head of the Salt Lake City pride parade to show support for the LGBT community. What do you think?

“Within the Mormon church, it's very progressive to recognize gay people's right to walk around in public." ”

“I think the church will probably move the Tabernacle while those 100 are marching so they can't find it when the parade's over.”
