    Thousands run in underwear to protest Utah laws

    SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Thousands of people stripped to their underwear and ran through Salt Lake City to protest what they called the "uptight" laws of Utah.

    Undie Run organizer Nate Porter says the goal of the event Saturday was to organize people frustrated by the conservative nature of the state's politics.

    Nudity was prohibited by organizers. Participants donned bras, panties, nightgowns, swimwear or colorful boxer shorts — and some added political messages by expressing support for causes like gay marriage on their chests, backs or legs.

    Salt Lake City is the home of the Mormon church, which is a vocal opponent of gay marriage.

    Porter estimates 3,000 people participated in the run, which began in downtown Salt Lake City and circled past the state Capitol building about a mile away.

      Go protesters!!! Keep the pressure on the uptight, right- wing religious zealots of this country until you achieve your right to pursue happiness in any form you choose that, by the way, is guaranteed by the constitution...

      Just look at these tattooed idiots. If this is the kind of youth that we are raising these days, I want to leave this world. Good think I won't be here to see them destroy it.

      Gays aee Non- and Un - Productive Members of Society. What do they create besides Havoc? No Minority has the Right to Rule in a Democracy. The Majority should rule and the minorities obey the Rules/Laws.

        Funny thought, we live in a REPUBLIC!
        In a republic, the MANY are strictly governed to protect the FEW!

        Wikipedia does a good explanation.

      Wow, sounds like a Holloween weekend in Key West, Florida. No big deal. Of course they use body paint to conceal the good parts.

      Can't idividuals be truthful about anything? These people are not protesting! They just are running in their under pants because they enjoy it!

        As a supporter of this protest, I felt mildly offended, then I groaned and then I laughed. Well-played, my good man. Well-played. ;)

      The headlines for this news does not state what dam law they are protesting it just states they are protesting Utahs laws. Which dam laws?Just I guess it was about gay marriage Is the law for are against it. A lousy new report about what I am not sure.
