Proposition 8

Mormon Church upset when people find out they happen to be bigots.

Proposition 8 opponents estimate that members of the Mormon Church gave
more than $20 million to the effort to pass the measure, though that is
difficult to confirm because records of campaign donations do not include
religious affiliation.



Some have hinted that this was a move by the Mormon Church to pave the way for more cooperation with evangelicals. Michael Otterson, a church spokesman, denies such claims insisting...

"The church couldn't remain silent on a pivotal issue like this."


I know that groups like to argue that gay marriage somehow weakens marriage and that their crusade is somehow about strengthening marriage. I tend to think that spending 20 million on marriage counseling and family planning programs would get them more bang for the buck and then they could keep the fact that they are bigots hidden.
