"Stand Up & Stop the Homosexual Movement" was emblazoned across the top of the ad, followed by, "Shame on Governor Huntsman for joining and adding to this public shame by endorsing the Common Ground Initiative," and "Shame on Utah Gays for Using the LDS Church to promote the homosexual Movement." The ad went on to say that, should the term sexual orientation be added to Utah law, "the open representation of Homosexual conduct then would be forced, by the law, into acceptance in very environment of society." Equality Utah, the ad says, is using "coercion tactics" and misleading poll results to get the initiative passed. "Consciencely [sic], they are using the LDS church's statements as a shield to numb the public conscience of their religious duty and rights."
