Recovering Our Honor

Hellmut, November 1, 2008October 1, 2011

Thank you, Barbara Young. Mormons owe you:

I am very passionate about this issue and Steve is completely supportive of me and my work for eqaulity,” Barbara Young said in a statement to the Mercury News after midnight. “We both love our Church and are grateful that our Church encourages us to vote our conscience. Steve prefers not to get involved politically on any issue no matter what the cause and therefore makes no endorsement.

Thank you for the countless Mormons who refuse to discriminate their neighbors.
