Following “Brokeback Mountain” fiasco, Valerie Larabee asks citizens to put their money to work January 2006 
See also:Mormon Mogul Cancels "Brokeback Mountain" Screening Gay Mormon Cowboys Touched by "Brokeback Mountain" COMMUNITY CALL TO ACTION NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION! VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLARS EVERY DAY! "Brokeback Mountain" is a film with the power to open mainstream America's eyes to the experience of two Midwestern men, and to generate productive discussions about Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer experiences. Late last week, the Jordan Commons Megaplex (owned by Larry H. Miller Holdings) abruptly changed its screening plans and decided not to show the film. This is yet another example of a prominent business withdrawing support for GLBT supportive events and media at the last minute. If you believe it's time to show Utah's prominent businesspeople (like Utah Jazz owner Larry H. Miller) that treating queer people as "controversial" and supporting anti-GLBT politicians and initiatives is a poor business move, vow to make 2006 a year to vote with your hard-earned dollars! Make a concerted effort to put your money to work! If you take the challenge, consider the first of many important steps and avoid the following list of Larry H Miller Holdings in Utah as you look for places to spend. If you are a current customer of any of these entities and do choose to stop spending your money with them, please let them know why! You could also visit the Larry H. Miller Group web site at www.lhm.com and post your comments under the "Contact Us" tab. This "Community Call To Action" is part of an ongoing effort to strengthen our call for equality in Utah! We, at The Center, will continue to work in collaboration with other GLBT and non-GLBT organizations to identify those businesses who support progressive business practices (e.g. Domestic Partner Benefits) and embrace diversity!
