Organizer: PFLAG St. George
Date: May 2nd, 2009
Info: “A demonstration of Love and Support for GLBTQ families will be held during the May 2, 2009 Southern Utah University (SUU) Commencement in Cedar City, Utah. LDS Church President Thomas Monson will be a speaker and receive an honorary degree. Some SUU student organizations see Monson as an inappropriate choice for the commencement speaker. Alumni and other organizations see this is as an open invitation for demonstration showing that GLBTQ community have families too by requesting Monson support Common Ground for expanded health care, fair housing and employment, and removal of inheritance and insurance barriers for GLBTQ families. Elder L. Whitney Clayton stated the LDS Church “does not oppose civil unions or domestic partnerships.” The SUU commencement is a perfect time to remind Monson his support will help GLBTQ graduates obtain employment, housing and medical care long after they graduate with their SUU diplomas.”.
