Thoughts of a mormon that supports marriage equality
The noisy expelling of air that I had heard from the other room was not a shriek of terror—mirroring my own emotion—but a yelp of joy. Thousands of people just lost a human right—and this person has the gal to shout with delight? I became slightly nauseated as I realized where I was—BYU. Brigham Young University, operated by the LDS--the Mormons.

Gay-bashing Mormons censor BYU art project
One is gay, the other isn't. And the artist won't tell you which is which. That proved too much for the bigots running the Mormon church, and its Borg incubator, otherwise known as Brigham Young "University" (air-quotes added).

Turnabout: Brigham Young as a Squealing Poofter
Mormons have this arrogant practice of posthumous baptism. It's silly and pointless, but it can also be insensitive and offensive, such as when they start baptizing Jews killed in the Holocaust. So here's brilliant reversal: convert dead Mormons to…homosexuality. I love the idea. I'm pretending that Brigham Young is a squealing poofter right now.

Prop 8 Lets Mormons Tell Other People Their Marriages Are F*
I wonder why they didn't quote their Prophet Brigham Young, who said "Marriage is a civil contract. You might as well make a law to say how many children a man shall have, as to make a law to say how many wives he shall have. It would be as sensible to make a law to say how many horses or oxen he shall possess, or how many cows his wife shall milk

Eat Your Eggs! Brigham study on heart disease, cholesterol
A new study by Brigham & Women's Hospital shows that inflammation, aggravated by diets high in processed corn and soy oil products, is a much greater risk factor in heart disease than high cholesterol levels. This sheds new light on previous beliefs about diet and heart disease.
