SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A gay rights organization is calling on Utah Gov. Gary Herbert to apologize for suggesting homosexuality is a choice and for calling decisions by other state leaders to not defend same-sex marriage bans the "next step to anarchy."

John Netto, head of the Utah Pride Center's board, said the governor's comments during his monthly televised news conference Thursday were hurtful.

"To suggest that allowing gay marriage is the foundation of anarchy, to us, is hate speech," Netto told The Salt Lake Tribune (http://bit.ly/1mjgsGh ). "We think he is uneducated ... on current scientific positions in regard to human sexuality."

Herbert's office didn't immediately respond to requests for comment

immaturity really isn’t the problem here.

the queers hate God and are an enthusiastic element of an evil and coordinated effort to attack and destroy America and everything that is American.

Not standing up to imperial courts using authority they were never supposed to have could lead to anarchy, he is correct.

the gays crack me up. For 20 years they have openly disparaged redheads (and continue to do so) and then they complain of hate speech.

of course they need God, but their love of sin and hatred for God blinds them.

You must repeat the official dogma of liberalism. Repeat it now. Good. No reeducation camp for you.

Buck up, queer...where's your tolerance for those with an opposing viewpoint?

I’m thinking we need an insincere, boiler-plate `apology’ for every-day use when a sodomite gets his panties bunched over something a normal person says about the homos.

Offender: Normal person

(Victim: Homosexual)

“Here’s the ‘Very Sorry Songg.’ Won’t you help and sing alongg?”
(”Bum bum bum”)

“I blew it!” Heh, not really!
(”But he’s sorry!”)

“I knew it!”
(”So sorry!” )

“I’m very very sorry I called you a nasty faaggg!”
(”Just don’t do it any more, you scurvy scalawaaggg!”)

There we go, right as rain

You sound Christaphobic. Why are you attacking someone with morel courage? Even obama was against genderless marriage a few years ago. Why should any group, and especially a perverted minority dictate the definition of what Marriage is? The meaning has been clear for over 5,000 years. There are very good reasons why it was created. There are NO GOOD reasons why its definition should be changed.

Don't give an inch, Governor!

I'm with you. Asking people to apologize for practicing freedom of speech is offensive. I don't respect anyone who apologizes when asked to do so. They're just enabling this insanity.

I do respect someone who says "I stand by what I say" and recognizes that their freedom of speech might indeed offend some people.
