Reply #11: In my opinion, there were two things (in regards to Mormons) I found uncomfortable

[galaxy21]

1)Lori L. Jean saying, "There is only one group responsible for prop8 passing – The Mormon Church." I find that dishonest, and there is a level of scapegoating going there. I think she's trying to cover her own ass, personally. (Didn't she go on a vacation at some point during the campaign, and she's wondering why she lost?)

2) The whole 'home invasion' ad with the stereotypical Mormons breaking into the gay couple home. Do I think the ad had a valid point? Yes. And there was truth to it. However, part of how I measure it is: would they do an ad like that with Jewish stereotypes breaking into a home, and doing that stuff? Or Catholics? No. They should have just made it two (non specific) religious volunteers and it still would have got the point across.

Its one thing to hold the Mormon church reponsible for the role they played in passing prop 8, but when you ignore all the other factors, and focus most of the blame on them, that's when I think the line has been crossed. The Mormons are not the one thing stopping gay marriage in America, and it's foolish to pretend otherwise.
