MANHUNT is getting some ironically placed new neighbors, and their arrival could mean the end of a bitter rivalry. Okay, that might be a stretch but we are looking forward to welcoming our new Mormon neighbors with open arms… and legs. I kid, I kid.
It's no secret that the Mormons and the gay community haven't gotten along lately. From LDS's overwhelming financial support of Proposition 8 to a gay couple's controversial anti-Mormon display, I think it's safe to say the relationship has been a bit strained to say the least.
We at MANHUNT recently learned the construction going on outside our office is the beginning of a new Mormon temple, and we're not shying away from saying hello when it does open!
Do you guys think we should go over and bring a MANHUNT basket full of dildos and porn? That's what good neighbors do right?
While we're on the topic of Mormons, check out our interview with former Mormon now MANHUNT model Michael Walker by clicking here.

you guys should definitely put up some big signs and pix of hot guys on your building!
You guys should really grow up. We’re never going to get respect or equality by acting immature and bitchy. Grow up.
Wow, Luke. Its a joke! Take a chill pill and learn how to crack a smile every now and then!
hah, i think it’s funny. maybe u shud get a sense of humour luke, this is MH not HRC’s website!
perhaps you should bring them a “fruitcake”? LOL
lol/. you should definitely do something funny.
looking forward to reading about it later on here. (with pics etc) :)))
Luke, I don’t think we’re going to be getting any respect from that organization until we all find a nice woman to settle down with. Even setting aside Prop 8, it’s a violently anti-gay organization, and not because we wear sparkles at Pride.
Remember, it was in the blog just a few days ago that we read that one of their most prominent members, Orson Scott Card, will work to bring down any government that recognizes same-sex marriage.
Extremely anti-gay, yes, but as far as I know they’ve never been physically violent.
I like the idea of doing something funny to welcome them. Fight prejudice with humor and good taste-they won’t know what hit ’em.
And just FYI, Andy, it’s only a large meetinghouse for two congregations and administrative offices, not a temple. That’s in Belmont.
It’s impossible to fight someone who’s set in their dogma. They truly believe hating gays will get them into heaven.
You simply let the old people die off while allowing the young people to access the internet.
In the meanwhile, making a friendly presence and using their doctrine against them with subtle and cunning questions (not overt pronunciations) is the best approach.
Saying something as simple as “How do you really think Jesus would handle the issue? Would he be a political activist or would he campaign to teach those who were lost?
What should you be doing?”
As with all questions, the key to making them work is to ask and then wait patiently for a response, don’t you think?
Yes, but it would not be quite a surprise gift basket to anyone, Mormon and non-Mormon alike, since everyone already knows that the gay community is defined by dildos and porn….oh, and flamboyant Pride parades and bath houses…right, Andy?
Some of those missionary dudes are very hot.
Apart from that, you could stage a magic underwear show if they give you any static.
