They are blaming the Mormon church because they and other religions were in favor of Prop. 8. And apparently Mormons had contributed money to the campaign for Prop. 8, which the gay activists perceive as unfair.

Somewhere between 40% and 75% of the Yes on 8 money supposedly came from Mormons.

As mentioned above, the Morman Church contributed $1 mil to help this effort, I do remember reading that,...I’m guessing that is why the fag nation targeted this Morman church.

I used to joke about the idea of gay riots. Now I’m not so sure if it’s so funny

Did most of the “thousands” leave? The video I am watching seems to show maybe 200 to 300.

This will get overturned in the courts. The stupid ACLU will see to that.

The Church didn’t contribute anything. They urged their members to contribute.

The KofC contributed about 1.5 million.

I raised and matched about $500. It was grass roots. They mormons were VERY well organized to mount this type of campaign. They constituted the majority of attendess of the rally’s that I went to. Catholics were second.

There are actually several groups. One is on the other side of the 405.

Remember how we were all assured that the gay groups all respect religious institutions, and that they would never, ever try to force religions to perform same-sex marriages....

Another of their favorite whines is, "How is my gay marriage going to harm your traditional marriage?" Then they proceed to indoctrinate children into homosexual practices and claim they are being discriminated against if they can't teach perversions in the classrooms. Not even to mention gay adoption. Whereas to heterosexuals and Christians, the entire purpose of marriage revolves around having children, being sexually decent and private, raising your children to feel secure with a mother and a father, and passing on those values by example to your children and grandchildren. That is marriage to us -- it's cradle-to-grave family life of blood relatives (except in the case of childless heterosexual couples who can still provide a mother and a father for an adoptee).

GBLT activists wanted their fight to be political starting in the 60s; now they think it's somehow unfair when they fail to convince people of their cause and people vote them down. They won't compromise over their aggressions towards children. Oh, wait -- it's not political! It's a civil right!

Make up your mind. If they have the civil right to raise their children as they see fit, why don't religious people have the same right? They want to do their thing, and we don't want our children indoctrinated into their sexual cult on the taxpayer dime.

It was the funding. Mormons (2 percent of California's population) donated roughly 60 to 70 percent of the funds, tens of millions. Plus the Mormons in Cali pounded the pavement pretty hard. So did many of the other churches. It was a great collation of people of faith.

That's what the gays are so upset about.

The Gay Nazis have threatened to burn down churches and homes of Prop 8 supporters.

Remember that most aggravated battery against gays is by other gays.
