A video from many years ago of myself and friends at SLC pride. This was the year of State Senator Chris Buttars’ infamous comments about how homosexuals were one of the greatest threats to America, echoing Boyd K. Packer. I'm "Lenny" here. #utpol https://t.co/QYDz3Ych17
LDS Apostle Packer wrote that “religion faced the greatest threat from three groups: feminists, homosexuals and intellectuals.” Under Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Act, LGBTQ individuals now face severe criminal penalties, including death. #utpol#utleg https://t.co/y0YoKyDSPf
