From videos like this outsiders might think Utah is a Mormon theocracy (or Morocracy). And that's certainly what the church would like, but Salt Lake City is actually surprisingly liberal, and has a strong gay community. This was a big news story here, and sparked protests. Including kiss-ins, where hundreds of people, both gay and straight, protested by holding hands and kissing on temple grounds. Of course they weren't arrested or thrown out - by this time the church was eager to avoid further embarrassment and bad publicity. The charges against the couple were also dropped.
