Macy’s and Nordstrom anchor stores, and all businesses that respect the LGBT community OUT of the 100% Mormon Church’s new $2 billion mega-mall in the center of Salt Lake City. Stop the profits of this highly politicized anti-gay, anti-civil rights church!

Subway Gets It Right
November 19, 2008In a tidy little victory, Subway, the people who assemble those long sandwiches for you and the world’s second largest restaurant company, has reprimanded a franchisee for using the Subway name in donating for Prop 8. Subway deemed it a violation of their franchise agreement to “use the Trademark in a manner that degrades, diminishes, or detracts from the goodwill of the business” and demanded the money be returned.
In addition, Subway went all in, updating its corporate anti-discrimination policies to reflect sexual orientation and gender identity. Congratulations to Subway for being responsive and concientious corporate citizens. Thank you!
(And thanks to Mike Rogers of BlogActive.com for making it happen. Good work.)

Crimes of Protest: Premeditated vs. Passion
November 18, 2008Mormons are mortified that protesters get angry and do inappropriate things.
There are two types of crimes:
- Premeditated. These are crimes committed after rationally considering the timing or method of committing it, in order to either increase the likelihood of success, or to evade detection or apprehension. Gay people feel Mormons committed the premeditated crime of working to steal our rights, and we can’t wrap their heads around why you would do that.
- Passion. Crimes of passion are committed because of sudden strong impulse such as jealous rage, heartbreak, or hurt. The angry protestors are committing acts of passion, particularly of passionate expression. This is inconceivable to Mormons, who cannot protest anything within their community. Because they don’t really get the concept of speaking out passionately and spontaneously (see Mitt Romney), they don’t react well. It confuses them.
So I say protest on. They want to be political, well this is politics. They will learn.

Do not boycott companies just for having a Mormon corporate officer or history. Answering their bigotry with our prejudice is wrong.
Sadly, SkyWest’s entry in the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index is blank.
