From videos like this outsiders might think Utah is a Mormon theocracy (or Morocracy). And that's certainly what the church would like, but Salt Lake City is actually surprisingly liberal, and has a strong gay community. This was a big news story here, and sparked protests. Including kiss-ins, where hundreds of people, both gay and straight, protested by holding hands and kissing on temple grounds. Of course they weren't arrested or thrown out - by this time the church was eager to avoid further embarrassment and bad publicity. The charges against the couple were also dropped.

Friends O' the Sift

What is a cult? The definition is difficult and elusive. It's nigh impossible to define just what is a cult without encompassing all organized religion. Many of us may in fact subscribe to that particular definition, but for the purposes of this Sift Channel we'll loosely use the following: "a quasi-religious group, often living in a colony, with a charismatic leader who indoctrinates members with unorthodox or extremist views, practices or beliefs"- Webster's New World College Dictionary. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult for more information.
