SALT LAKE CITY -- A group protesting The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' handling of gays and lesbians is planning to deliver their petition to Church leaders by handcart.
LDS Apology says too many gays and lesbians disenfranchised by the LDS Church have committed suicide.
"I think it would be incredibly meaningful experience to be able to speak with, even just a brief deliver and express our concerns to priesthood leaders," says group member Peter Danzig.
On November 4, the group plans to trek from This is the Place Heritage Monument to LDS Church headquarters with handcarts to deliver a petition to Church leaders in person.
They're asking the LDS Church to reconcile with gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered members.
