HRC delivers letters to Mormon church
Campaign asks LDS to publicly support equality legislation in Utah
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) | Rebecca Armendariz | Dec 23, 10:06 AM
A national gay rights group delivered six boxes containing 27,614 letters to Mormon church headquarters on Monday.The letters from members of the Human Rights Campaign ask church leaders to publicly support equality legislation in Utah.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints opposes gay marriage but has said it does not oppose civil unions or non-marriage legal rights for same-sex couples.
Utah lawmakers are expected to consider five bills proposing equal treatment or legal protections for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community when the Legislature convenes on Jan. 26.
Church spokesman Scott Trotter says the letters were accepted and will be forwarded the appropriate office for review.
