A story published tonight on the Salt Lake Tribune website announced a protest in front of the Salt Lake Mormon temple to decry the involvement of the church in supporting Proposition 8 in California.

The young man who is organizing the protest is asking for people to help get the word out via e-mail, texting, social networking sites, etc. C'mon Kossacks, help us get the word out and lets see if we can't match the 3000 who turned out to protest at the Los Angeles Mormon temple here in the heart of Mormondom.
Excerpt from article and more below the fold.
If Jacob Whipple gets what he's hoping for, at least 1,000 Utahns will turn out Friday night to protest the involvement of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in helping pass Proposition 8, a California ballot measure that effectively killed, at least for now, same-sex marriages in that state.
The call for people to gather at 6 p.m. at North Temple and State Street in Salt Lake City is to show solidarity with those protesting in California, Whipple explained.
The 29-year-old former LDS Church member, who served a mission in Argentina, was helping to get the word out late Thursday about the Utah protest. He said he and others were seeking support through e-mails, text messages, social networking Web pages and old-fashioned phone calls.
Let's make our voices heard and then get back to work to overturn this terrible affront to social justice.

One more facebook update before I head off to bed to get a little sleep. I want to make sure I get to work in time to leave early for the protest. I was just sent a link to the largest facebook event publicizing the protest. Here it is. Thanks to Adam for sending me the link!
