OK, I'm like the LAST guy in the world interested in sticking up for the Mormons.

But, really, in light of this statement, isn't it time for Prop H8 opponents to start picketing the Catholic Church as well?

A brief quote:
"Catholics stand in solidarity with our Mormon brothers and sisters in support of traditional marriage — the union of one man and one woman — that has been the major building block of Western civilization for millennia.

"The ProtectMarriage coalition, which led the successful campaign to pass Proposition 8, was an historic alliance of people from every faith and ethnicity. LDS were included — but so were Catholics and Jews, Evangelicals and Orthodox, African-Americans and Latinos, Asians and Anglos.

"Bigoted attacks on Mormons for the part they played in our coalition are shameful and ignore the reality that Mormon voters were only a small part of the groundswell that supported Proposition 8."
                                      --Bishop William Weigand, head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento


Picket ALL churches/synagogues/mosques/temples that conspired together to steal our rights. Fair is fair!

that 20 million is what paid for the advertising that got yes on 8 passed. Don't get me wrong, other places should be protested too, but the LDS kinda asked for this IMO.

Well, my point is that other people asked for it too. Share the love; fair is fair!

In theory I agree with you, and I hope to be protesting at a baptist church next sunday, (and if there is another protest at the temple, I'll be there too), but the LDS is a much bigger target, everyone else is much more diffuse. Other people asked for it, yeah, but not nearly in the same way. Not nearly in the same huge way.
