In no way should gay marriage be legalized in Utah! Next thing you know you're going to have guys wanting to legally marry a bunch of underage gir-- oh wait.

Confidential to Mr. Savage, the answer is you.

Sucker.

Oh hell no. I want incentive for all those good looking mormon boys to move to California.

The final, pathetic death of the Culture Wars can wait, IMHO. What's really important is why this story hasn't yet shown up on SLOG today.

Will Dan Savage stop the evil Islamofascist Rachael Ray before she throws an atomic Triscuit cracker into the Columbia Tower, murdering thousands in order to quench her insatiable lust for Homemaking Queen supremacy? Quickly, Dan Dare! Time is running out!

Spoogie has six mommies. The fact that two of them are lesbians is irrelevant.

Elsewhere on the KUTV front page:

"Video Of Living, Breathing Space Alien Said To Be Authentic A stunning video that supposedly shows a living, breathing space alien -- peering through a window at night -- will be shown to the news media tomorrow."

Clearly we are not dealing with a real news outlet.

Sorry about that, Meks. Correcting now.

@8- when I loaded the page, the first four headlines, in order, read:

"Construction Workers Kick And Spray Paint Kitten"

"Sex Abuse Suspect Wanted For Touching Girl At Wal Mart"

"Video Of Living, Breathing Space Alien Said To Be Authentic"

"President Bush Meets LDS Church Leader Before Leaving"

I took it to be a reflection of the state of Utah in general, not the news station per se.

oh man now I've found today's obsession: Vote; erase history, cache' and cookies, vote again. Repeat.

If the mormons came to my house on a "mission" shirtless and looking like that piece of beefcake I would definitely "listen" to them.

Except, damn, they are like 18 when they go on their missions, aren't they? Nevermind.

I don't think gays should be allowed to marry in Utah. I don't think anyone should be allowed to marry in Utah, or do anything else in that state. I think Utah should be cleared out and made off limits for human habitation.

Thank you, Dan, for updating the post with that picture of wholesomeness. Next time the Elders come to my door, I'll look at them differently.

I personally love the teaser headline on that page: "Actor reportedly single again"

So... Onion-ish! Of course I had to click it (who? who? who?). Ah, George Clooney. (Pulled in, hook, line and sinker)

Underage gays should not be allowed to marry much older gays in Utah, especially if they have multiple spouses.

I draw the line there.

That said, my youngest sister is living there, and if she (hah) decided to turn gay, I'd just help her get married in BC or CA ...

As long as you block their cookies and are using IE or Firefox, you should be able to vote multiple times. And you should.

Let's hit the mormons in the "morons."

Hey, I gotta go -- but we've moved the poll more than 12 points since we posted it to Slog. If "yes" takes the lead, can someone get a screen grab and email it to me? Thanks!

@17-19: do the gays win a prize if they "win" the poll? do you live in utah? don't you think that your tampering with the poll will invalidate any results? learn how to program and save your clicking finger for better uses. can we look forward to more polls from non-seattle locations that we should be fucking around with here on the slog?
etc.

@21 mom, we/they are just having fun...
can you imagine a conservative mormon voting in Salt Lake City hits the vote button... AND THE SODOMITES ARE WINNING?
I've wasted enough time on this!

@21 - As I cast my 20th or so vote, I thought to myself, "Self, am I reinforcing the idea of a gay conspiracy for those that are already paranoid about it?"

Should gay marriages be legal in Utah?


Yes (54.3%)
No (45.7%)

That's 8:28CDT. You looked like you wanted to kick Tony Well's ass...well, ok, maybe I'm just projecting what I wanted to do to him.

where do I get one of those calendars?

#28
i didn't believe the calendar was real, but google reveals that it is, so i've posted the link to the online store for purchase. but what's even more unbelievable is that the website also sells t-shirts that bear the caption ' i heart mormon boys' and they're available in mens sizes..and i'm so gettin one.
oh.. there are also ones that bear the caption ' lots of love' and picture a man shadow figure flanked by six shadow wives and is available in 'celestial white and bringham blue'

I love that calendar! Someone got it for my (presumably straight) fiance for Christmas as a joke, and now it's hanging in my laundry room. It brings me endless joy...as would gay marriage being approved in Utah.

Looking at them is fun, sex with them is fun. Until the sex is over and then it turns into a whiny religious guilt trip.

I have a few interesting stories about Mormon's and out of wedlock sex and few of them end well.

@36

I haven't done a married mormon, but I've done plenty of married men. The cum-freakout is one of the most embarrassing and confusing things I have ever experienced.
