y activists deliver petition to Mormon church

SALT LAKE CITY – National gay rights activists have delivered a petition letter carrying 150,000 signatures to the Mormon church's Salt Lake City headquarters.

The letter asks Boyd K. Packer of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to withdraw statements from an Oct. 3 sermon that same-sex relationships are unnatural and with enough faith can be overcome.

The Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay civil rights organization, collected the signatures in an e-mail campaign.

Activists say such statements are factually inaccurate and can result in bullying that leads some gay youth to attempt suicide.
