Signs began popping up in store windows this week in Kanab, Utah proclaiming ''Everyone welcome here!'' in a desperate move to avoid a threatened gay boycott. Some businesses went so far as putting small rainbow flag stickers on their front doors.

Dozens of business owners in the small southern Utah community are trying all they can to distance themselves from a proclamation by the city council that Kanab supports the "natural family" consisting of a working husband, a stay-at-home wife and a "full quiver of children."

The measure was passed by the council in January angering gays in the state and prompting LGBT groups to consider calling a boycott.


good for them!

1. Seems to me the town offended just about everyone but polygamists

I mean who can afford to have a stay @ home mom?

What about stay @ home dads...they offended them too and families with both working parents.

Everyone should boycott that town.

6. One of my closest friends is a stay-at-home dad.

Few households have more loving, peaceful vibes that my friend's household.

2. Well business owners, pack every city council meeting

til the cows come home. Petition a council member to rescind the fascist doctrine. Natural family my ass. Hell, my wife works, God bless her and I stay at home spending part of it aggravating the fuck out of constitution hating conservatives on the computer. Fuck you kanab, utah city council. You are what is wrong with this country.

3. FUCk Utah!...

Gays can vacation/ski elsewhere....why should we frequent a state that refuses to welcome us (gays)...we'll take our "gay income" elsewhere where we're free to f*#k & frolic fabulously baby! Remember Utah refused to show Brokeback Mountain at their local theaters. So what does that tell you??

4. But forcing 15 year olds to "marry" with senior citizen polygamists is ok?
