Hey I agree with you, hit them where it hurts. But what I am saying is that the mormon church is only one aspect of this whole mess.
Was every person in the state of California that voted yes on proposition 8 a member of the mormon church? I don't think so. Those who voted yes I presume came from all racial, social, and religious backgrounds.
Yes the mormon church contributed millions but at the same time I still stand by my assertion that those who voted yes would have done so regardless of whether it was the mormon church who donated money or mr. joe citizen who did. These homophobic people don't need any persuasion or incentive to vote against gay rights.
And that is what I have been referring to these past few days. While the mormon church receives all this anger and protests and whatnot, it is disconcerting that those who shoudl receive equal venom are those who voted yes on prop. 8 who have no affiliation with the mormon church.
