[...] you mean the ads like the ones where evil mormons invade peoples' homes to assault their rights? because if you just hate mormons, it's not bigotry In the commercial they knock on the door, say they are from the Church of Jesus Christ of [...]

A bit of grafitti a pure hate crime? I suppose killing the slight, small Matthew Shepard by an actual Mormon priesthood holder rates as simple hi-jinks. Fun rules youu live by, sister.

First off the Mormon church didn’t “fund” the money that went into prop 8; last time I checked any individual can contribute/give their money to any one or any thing they want to. I personally contribute to several political and charitable events – can I expect to have the religion I practice attacted because of where I want to give my money? I don’t understand why so many people are attacking the Mormons over this. The entire State of California had the opportunity to vote and did-not just one church . I can see people being upset that this may have not gone the way they wanted but in 2000 they voted on prop 22 and it went through also. It’s reasonable to say that a vote on a similar topic would go the same way-I don’t know why people were shocked. The behaviors of those attacking people and churches are disgusting -they are pure hate crimes!

I should be more clever about this, but, oh well. Kayla, the point is not that the missionaries did or did not vote for Prop. 8. It is that it was orchestrated from the very top of the Mormon Hierarchy, and Mormon is very hierarchical. So, the missionaries, as representative of said hierarchy and, as such, are representing the beliefs of Thomas Monson and the 12, who have let their views very clearly be known. It makes no difference if an individual missionary voted for the proposition or not, as he is representing an organization that spent, what? 22 Million? to get the proposition pased.

Kayla, you can keep your kids out of the sex education classes in California. You can keep them out of spelling, if you have the mind. What exactly is your fear? That parents not as clever as you will fail to keep their young ones out of the classes and they’ll learn things they shouldn’t? Heaven forbid. My mormon parents kept me out of every sex education class in every school I was in. Just do the same.

Oh, and whoever owns this website, Amazon.com (just above this comment box here) just recommended not only David Bowie’s “Low” (Mr. Bowie being a well-known bi-sexual) but also Antony and the Johnsons. It is physicially impossible to be more flaming than Antony unless you’re Boy George, so I think you should rethink that Amazon banner. Oh, and they’re both great albums, if you’re into that sort of thing. And look! Between the buttons! (get it?) The Rolling Stones! Bad bad bad bad boys. Tsk, tsk.

Kayla, if you’re so afraid that your children will find out that annie has two mommies or timmie has two daddies, perhaps you should just take them out of public schools altogether and limit their non-mormon activities, no little league, no outside friendships, ’cause otherwise, they’ll meet someone who, in fact, has two mommies, or two daddies, and where will you be? Or perhaps, they’ve heard all the fuss about the vote and have already figured it out?

I’m trying to wrap my head around this “teaching kids about gay marriage thing that everyone finds so objectionable. ESPECIALLY when a lot of kids in California go to schools with other kids who have gay parents. Have play dates with them or share baby-sitting with them or play soccer or baseball or whatever with them

Fear-mongering, without it, churches would be out of business,.

I have not seen this commercial but form hearing about it I am so uneasy and discusted at the hipocracy of the No on 8 Supporters. I am a California Mormon and I live very near SF. I fear for what ignorant people will do to the missionaries in my area. People were fooled by the commercials on this issue already. The ad’s against Prop 8 stated that it would not be taught in schools because it is not a requirement to teach sexual education in the schools. TRUTH: 96% of California schools teach sexual education…which means had prop 8 not passed 96% of our students would be learning about Gay Marriage without parent notification. People have a hard time thinking for themselves. People will believe this about missionaries…most of which in California DID NOT COME FROM CALIFORNIA!!! A Majority of the Missionaries who are in cali DID NOT VOTE ON PROP 8!!!!!

Ha! The Church has been asking for it. They wouldn’t have made that smearing ad if the Church hasn’t been so active in this area for so many years. It is such a large issue for me, that it makes me embarassed to even tell people that I am a member of the Church any more. I’m glad to see it coming more into the public spotlight.
