Jesse, I agree with your points. I don't know if my church (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod) took a position on Prop 8, but we did object to California's Supreme Court decision, so we certainly warrant a hate protest or hate commercial or something. It should be noted, though, that both sides are targeting opponents (AFA-led boycotts and the like), so No on 8 actions toward "enemies" aren't unique. - Ontario Emperor from fftogo

My theory about why Mormons and Catholics are treated differently is because people know that Catholics often disagree with their church's official position, while people assume that Mormons all march in lockstep, Osmonds 8 track tapes in hand. Yet No on 8 lists at least one group of Mormons as supporting their cause. - Ontario Emperor from fftogo

Funnily enough, one of the interesting things I learned from some conversation on Facebook is that the largest pro-8 contributer was actually a Catholic, not Mormon. Also interesting, the largest non-supporting contributor, Bruce Bastien, was also from Utah. - Jesse Stay

One of the hazards of scattershot boycotts; you can't only limit the damage to your opponents. - Ontario Emperor

I've been learning a lot about LDS through you, Louis, some of the Tweeps I follow and our upstairs neighbors. I like to think I'm open-minded and have learned that I had a LOT of misconceptions about Mormons and the tenets of the religion. Unfortunately, not too many of the haters will take the time to learn about what it is they are protesting and move toward educated dialogue. - Sally Robinson
