The Mormon theocracy in Salt Lake City just suffered a major defeat when a 3-man panel of the 9th District Circuit Court voted to uphold the initial decision of Judge Vaughn Walker that Proposition 8 (aka Prop H8) was unconstitutional. This is a great victory for the civil liberties of all American citizens and a major loss for the forces of tyranny and oppression.
"Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples."
"The people may not employ the initiative power to single out a disfavored group for unequal treatment and strip them, without a legitimate justification, of a right as important as the right to marry."
"Tradition alone is not a justification for taking away a right that had already been granted."
"Proposition 8 had absolutely no effect on the ability of same-sex couples to become parents or the manner in which children are raised in California. ... It is implausible to think that denying two men or two women the right to call themselves married could somehow bolster the stability of families headed by one man and one woman."
To take a look at just a few of the gay parents out there with their children, whom the Mormon theocracy in Salt Lake City would like to strip of all their human rights, watch the YouTube videos:

That was so beautiful :) Thank you for uploading this <3 As a convert, and the only one in my family, it reminds me that I still need to center Christmas around Christ even if they don't. Thank you, God bless <3
Do they teach Mormon kids that their cult used their money and influence to write discrimination and bigotry into the state constitutions of Maine and California? Those are not "family values.' Every family should be treated equally, whether they are headed by a gay couple or a straight couple. Shame on these people!
You wanna know the truth about how Mormons treat one another? It's very shallow and superficial in public. They mostly care about themselves and their own salvation. I know because I was involved for 20 years and "GREW" in the pure Love of Jesus Christ into Christianity where people are taught to "LOVE" one another "UNCONDITIONALLY" and treat each other how they'd like to be treated. Watch this video it could change your life. (minus the space between W's) w w w .youtube.com/watch?v=5HuGzoDG_OY
This is a great video, thanks LDSblend for adding all of these great videos that remind us of the true meaning of Christmas.
PS I've seen that blond boy playing the brother, somewhere and it's driving me crazy...does anyone know, reply to my comment if you do. It will bug me until I figure it out!
@dignan1000 Umm yeah.. the mormons should be banned from celebrating Christmas at all.. they blasphemize the REAL Jesus Christ by making up their own jesus and then praising some wife stealing child molesting pig who is more then the prophet of satan, and thats joseph smith.. the mormons have no place to celebrate Christmas.. they trash the real Jesus Christ
@supportingcrew A Religious ban of any kind would be detrimental to any country. LDS members do not worship Joseph Smith, they worship The God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, and we do worship Jesus Christ The Savior. It might seem like one would be mad in reply to your comment but I am happy to hear from a fellow Christian and I hope you enjoy Christmas! PS I recommend you learn the truth about (& from) the Book of Mormon & J. Smith-you will find the truth far different than the sensational rumors.
@dignan1000 You mormons worship and praise joseph smith I talked to a few mormons in the past and NO they're not ex mormons they said and a few other people throughout the years have said that you mormon idiots focus more on the prophet of satan joseph smith then the Son of God Jesus Christ.. dont ever think Im going to believe you or any mormon, you people are known liars
@dignan1000 Oh and btw its blasphemous for a mormon to claim being a Christian, lds stands for lucifers demonic servants, the mormons have NO place to celebrate Christmas, you people trash Jesus Christ, dont ever tell me that joseph smith sits at the right hand of God and lets us get into heaven, thats Jesus seat, and you mormons sound like satan when you replace Jesus with the prophet of satan joseph smith
@supportingcrew Wow, don't even know which lie to address first! What you have said is sad and sad. No Mormon ever worships Joseph Smith nor has the LDS church ever taught that in any way shape or form-the LDS church has never-ever taught that J.S. takes the place of Jesus Christ. It doesn't matter who you talked to or didn't talk to, it's simply untrue. I hope you can find the peace and happiness in Christ and take a break from the anger & hatred to celebrate Christmas! Have a good one!
@dignan1000 Oh looky another mormon trying to put on this Im so shocked act that people just hate us even though we blasphemize Jesus Christ and hold that piece of shit joseph smith before Jesus. Yeah save it ok.. we dont fall for this act that satan taught you mormons.. as I said Christmas is for Gods children who worship and follow Jesus Christ, NOT for satans mormon children, who try to use what you just did, LIES,DECEIT and TRICKERY and not too mention LIES...
@dignan1000 speaking of Mormon lies, how about the illegal behavior that you exhibited in California when you violated state law regarding your involvement in Prop 8? Your cult should be ashamed for spending millions of dollars in an anti-family values campaign. Gay people have families too, and they deserve the protections of the government- words by Coretta Scott King. Your cult stands for bigotry and discrimination, which is why you hide behind organizations such as NOM.
@TaneishaRed1990 (1)I understand where you are coming from, tho you may not understand where we are.

We stood united-not to make being gay a crime or to cause harm/hate but to assert our desire to not have marriage changed. Changng the defin
@TaneishaRed1990 (2)of mariage effects the rights of some parents, Dr.'s, teachers, Catholic adoption agencies-ect. I understand if you do not agree w/ our stance-it's a personal issue. The LDS church has taught me to love evryone regardles of beliefs, looks or anythng-I have no hate toward gay/lesbians-some of my closest friends are gay. Thx for your comment-I sincerely respect your passion & position.
@TaneishaRed1990 PS-the LDS church does not run NOM by any means. You should contact them, I'm sure they can tell you details about those who run the organization. Have a good one!
@dignan1000 WRONG! The LDS created "front organizations" to battle marriage equality and this has been documented going back nearly a decade in Hawaii. They lied about their involvement back then and are still lying about it. When NOM was sued in order that they disclose their donor list, it was a clear sign that the ties to the LDS were trying to be covered up.
@dignan1000 but, I'm thankful that your lies have been found out, and people are realizing that Mormonism is an evil cult which must be stopped at all costs!
And what counts as a family anyway? If we're talking about extended family (which could extend into the billions), it is highly improbable that all members of a family will make it to the same kingdom after judgment.
How can families possibly be together forever? Doesn't that assume that every single member of the family is equal in righteousness, so that all family members end up in the same kingdom?
I just stumbled upon a PBS special from . the Mormon Tabernacle and decided to do a search for "Mormon Christmas" on you tube. So thank you and Christmas blessings to all.
