Photo exhibit of gay Mormons attacked in Salt Lake City

The black and white photographs are by Westminster College graduate Don Farmer, who is gay and was raised Mormon. His photographs show two men in white shirts and dark slacks. In one, a young man unbuttons the other's shirt; in another, one undoes the other's belt as a book of scripture lies open nearby.

I also want to draw attention to a new movie called "Latter Days." It is a love story between two young men and is by the person who did "Sweet Home Alabama." This should be high quality.

Here is the official website for Latter Days:

1. What did the mormons think would happen?

putting 60,000 19-24 year old guys out there away from home fro 2 years. They have to spend 24 hours a day with another chap and cant date etc. Didnt the thought occur to anyone that just maybe some of those 60,000 guys at any one time just might be gay and that just maybe a couple of gay missionaries would end up being sent to the same place to spend 24 hours a day together for months?

Also "attacked" is a bit much to describe one student taking the pictures down and moving them.

2. I agree with your opinion

about using the "attacked" word. But, I put it as the header since that was the headline on the Queer Day website.
