108 If the Mormons, Methodists, and Catholic charters take their tents and go home, it’s good night Gracie! ...

But they won't. The LDS Church has been reaching out to the LGBT activists since 5/23/2013. UT has passed state legislation protecting LGBTs. The UMC is split down the middle on LGBT. It has been dragging its feet, but a schism appears likely in the near future. We have all watched in horror as Pope Francis has danced around the flame of LGBT issues in the RCC. The RCC committee in the U.S. that oversees its BSA affiliation balked at withdrawing from the BSA after 5/232/2015.

If a new membership rule for open adult homosexual leaders is created to give the local chartering institution, i.e., the church, the right to restrict homosexuals from membership, this will also be attacked by the LGBT activists.

You're analysis of the situation in Utah is flawed, and is typical of what the media reported at first.

The state of Utah, with the LDS Church backing, passed legislation protecting religious freedom specifically because of what the gay agenda was doing. They were pretty forward thinking about it too, putting the legislation in place before the protests broke out around the country, establishing freedom of religion in the guise of throwing a bone to non discrimination, but protecting marriage and religious freedom.

This is a pretty funny article, the Huffington Post got wise on this one.
