Who knew that prop 8 would stir up such fervor and mobilize Utah's gay community as it has. Having the Common Ground Initiative defeated, and hearing Utah Senator Buttars call "gays the biggest threat to America" the community is not giving up.
There will be a party at the Capitol for truth and justice with music, dancing, street artists, food, fun and feature a special "tribute" to everyone's favorite Senator.

Call for Senator Buttars Resignation
The All For One Initiative is calling on us to contact Utah Governor Jon Huntsman as well as the Senate President Michael Waddoups and urge them to speak up in favor of Senator Buttars submitting his resignation. The senator has recently called "gays the greatest threat to America" among other highly offensive comments. The current and past comments by this senator illustrate his lack of ability to represent all Utahn's due to his racist and homophobic rhetoric.
Please use the contact info below to urge them to speak in favor of his resignation.

Tell Utah Representatives to Support Common Ground Initiative!
Governor Huntsman supports the Common Ground Initiative. Three recent polls indicate a majority of Utahns support basic rights for gay and transgender people. One of the most outspoken proponents of Amendment 3, BYU law professor Lynn Wardle, admits the amendment allows for certain benefits and he debunks the ‘slippery slope to marriage’ argument used by Common Ground Initiative opponents. There is Common Ground. Gay and transgender Utahns are in need of the protections afforded in this legislation. (Equality Utah)

The Senate Judiciary Committee in Utah will be holding a hearing at 2pm, Tuesday, January 27, at the State Capitol Building, in Room 250.
On the committees agenda will be SB 32 the Wrongful Death Amendments sponsored by Sen. McCoy.
This bill would allow people to designate another adult to have standing in court if they die due to negligence or malpractice. Grandparents, siblings, and partners should not be locked out of the courts when a loved one is killed in these circumstances.
