Just after the passing of the Calif. marriage ban with heavy Mormon Church sponsorship the church released this statement saying they did not object to
“rights for same-sex couples regarding hospitalization and medical care, fair housing and employment rights, or probate rights, so long as these do not infringe on the integrity of the traditional family or the constitutional rights of churches”
Equality Utah promptly created five bills to grant those rights, calling the Church's bluff. No one is surprised that the first of the five died in legislative committee yesterday with the Mormon majority voting as a block against it. The other bills are under attack. Apparently the existence of any civil protections for gays infringes on the rights of the Mormon Church.
