Stop wasting time blaming Blacks, Mexicans, Seniors, Ruralites, Suburbanites and whatever other group for passing Prop 8 which took rights away from California citizens.
There is only one group to blame - the religious. Direct your anger where it needs to be directed: towards the religious people who come in all colors and ages. The liberal attitude of accepting all people's beliefs has now backfired on you. The major religions are all blatantly anti-gay. They may not highlight certain passages as much in progressive congregations but no churches can escape the truth. Their books say Gays are the scourge of the earth, plain and simple. It is not even a matter for interpretation.
I have said for years that people have the right to believe whatever wacky thing they want, it doesn't mean I have to respect it. Those liberals out there who have felt a need to respect religious beliefs, can't complain now when they manifest themselves.
There is something you can do though, as it is illegal for a tax-exempt organization like the mormons to raise funds and endorse a political campaign you can call them out on it. They certainly broke the law in this case and you can send a letter to the IRS complaining. If they get enough of them, who knows? It's very easy and quick, just fill in your name on the form they have already completed for you at this site.
Personally I don't think any church deserves tax-exempt status, but until then, maybe we can enforce the current law and at least knock one of these suckling pigs off the government coffers.
