The saga surrounding Kanab’s city council decision in favor of “natural family” continues.

Today’s Salt Lake Tribune reports that Kanab residents and business owners are calling for an end to the boycott called by writer Arthur Frommer. Frommer has
urged tourists to shun the scenic southern Utah town after the City Council adopted a nonbinding “natural-family” resolution. The resolution was the brainchild of the conservative Sutherland Institute.

Business owners and many residents did not support the city council’s resolution and in fact designed this logo to promote tourism:

“No business in Kanab had any input regarding this proclamation,” wrote [Vicky]Cooper in a letter sent earlier this month to Frommer. “A boycott will only hurt the residents of Kanab, not our City Council.” (Cooper owns Kanab’s Rocking V Cafe).

Frommer has not yet received the letter and has not stated whether or not he will end his boycott call.
“They [council members] seem hellbent on gay bashing,” he said, adding he is not a part of the gay community, but a grandfather with three grandchildren. “I guess I fit the resolution,” Frommer joked.
