so i, personally, think the rage is completely misdirected at LDS. we need to look at the no on 8 campaign and figure out what went wrong. my coworker was so upset with the way the campaign was run that he sent an email to them asking for his money back. fat chance, but at least he got his point out there.

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 21:33:06 +0000 http://guanabee.com/wordpress/?p=5209#comment-17902 This makes me so mad. As upset as I am that Prop 8 passed, people need to get their information right- the outspoken LDS support of Prop 8 actually did very little to get prop 8 passed- in the areas with the highest concentration of LDS members, Prop 8 was overwhelmingly voted AGAINST. And the funds contributed didn't come from the church's money itself, but individual members voluntary donations. What people didn't get a chance to see was how divided even the church itself was about SOME of our leaders decision to support prop 8- many mormons, like myself, were devastated at the way it was handeled and deeply conflicted (like any thinking member of an organized religion often is). Truth is, even the church leadership in Salt Lake was VERY divided over how to to handle this issue. One of the basic tenants of the LDS church is tolerance- much of the homophobia stems from deeply rooted bias that people have, not necessarily because they are LDS, but because of what society or their upbringing has taught them. Having been LDS my whole life and attending churches all over the nation, I can honestly say that I never heard much time in church spent on homosexuality or gay-bashing, period. Check out this website: <a href="http://www.affirmation.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.affirmation.org/</a> to learn about LDS church members who don't get mentioned in the news very much, but who are growing in numbers and friends. The church can't stop gay marriage, and on many levels, it knows this. It sometimes takes a LONG time for the church to accept changes in society. But its support for Prop 8 in California? Didn't really do much except create more divisiveness, both within and outside the church, and that can't go on. This makes me so mad.
