I know you didn't mean it that way, this reminds me of a one of those Anti Muslim posts from Freeperville, where they say 'hey, not all Muslims are bad, but the whole religion is rooted in hate, by the way." I don't think at DU we should ever put ourselves in a position of saying 'this religion is bad' or 'this religion is rooted in bad intentions.'


I will admit I was surprised by Mormons involvment (well, heavier than I thought)and you're right the are actively involved. But, honestly, turning this into 'Gays vs Mormons' is not going to help anyone. Mormons are just another fundy group. No better, no worse. And focusing on them, instead of looking at the bigger picture (cultural attitudes, enlightenment)isn't going to help get gay marriage passed any where. Or if you are going to go after religious institutions that oppose gay marriage, go after them all.
