UTAH: Mormon Man Hasn’t Eaten In Twelve Days Because Gay Marriage

Bilerico tips us to Trestin Meacham’s initial Facebook posting.

After explaining the situation to my family, I have decided to pursue the following course of action. After my dinner tonight, I will begin a fast which will not end until all counties in Utah stop issuing marriage licenses and performing marriages for same sex couples. Due to the rogue judge refusing to issue a stay, this will likely take several days. I cannot stand by and do nothing while this evil takes root in my home. Some things in life are worth sacrificing one’s heath and even life if necessary. I am but a man, and do not have the money and power to make any noticeable influence in our corrupt system. Never the less, I can do something that people in power cannot ignore.

That was December 21st. According to yesterday’s report from Salt Lake television, the fast is still going and Meacham says he’s now lost 25 pounds. His Facebook page is open for reading.
