I would like to help...
If any of you are in charge of arranging protests/rallies and need someone to come up with some fliers or posters... I am a graphic artist and would like to volunteer my services.

It has been suggested that listing businesses owned by the Mormon Church was not the right way to help; so this is the only other way I can.

So, if any of you need some designs, logos, flyers... anything like that made up, let me know.

1. One of the big problems with LDS businesses is
One of the big problems with LDS businesses is that they do business almost exclusively with LDS members (outside of a couple - like the Polynesian Center in Hawaii). ALl the farms and generic businesses are infact LDS owned, ran and operated - for LDS people. For example what good would it be to boycott Deseret Book which sells only LDS Books? Or Desert Farms which produced food that is only available for LDS Charity work?

Im also a graphic designer and would love to help out anyway I can...

3. That's very generous of you, demdog.
One other way you can help. There are going to be massive protests across the country this Saturday, November 15. Find a local protest (they will be located in all 50 states). You can find a protest close to you here:

http://jointheimpact.wetpaint.com/

Each protest should have the contact information for the protest leader. Please get in contact with them. I'm sure they would be very appreciative of your creative services. They will need extra signs to hand out to the protesters that arrive.

And if you're feeling up to it, come out and march with us! These aren't gay-only protests, and you are definitely welcome! :hi:

Also, please share the link above with any gay or gay-friendly friends and acquaintances you may have. Help us spread the word!

I'll be taking a train out of town this weekend to go see my family, but I'll definitely call my local contacts and see how I can help now and in the future. Thanks for the info. Actually, I think I'll email them now.

9. That second link has SO many...
I couldn't believe how many there were. I went to look for catholic businesses, but couldn't find any. I have someone who said he'd do some digging for me, so I can post another group.

What I think would be great is to not only hit the businesses owned by the Mormon Church, but to go one step further and stop using companies that are partnered with them; or at the very least write & call have our voices be heard.
