I should have been more specific...these particular gays who made this ad and are demonizing the mormons.
It isn’t like mormons are the “only” ones who voted against prop 8, but they are an easy target because the media made them a scapegoat here.
“An awfully lot of posts on FR would appear to want to do away with their rights as citizens because they are availing themselves of First Amendment rights.”
I don’t know what rights anyone wants to “take away” from them.
I haven’t seen anyone suggest armbands either.
What I do see is that an issue went up for a vote and they lost.
They lost fair and square.
So now they want to demonize the mormons because the mormons dared to exercise their right to vote their conscience.
Tough noogies.
Oh heck!!
We absolutely REVEL in scapegoatiness!

The right to assemble and protest.
Draper mulls 'free speech zones' near new temple
If you have read very many of these threads, you will see an outpouring of hate against the protestors that is astonishing.
And, as I have said in an earlier post, the mormons have taken the credit for the win, they should not be surprised at being targeted.
What I find interesting is that the so-called "winners" are acting like losers when they rail against the protestors...as though they expected the losers to quietly fade away and accept their loss. How naive!
Politics ain't softball!
