Harassing Mormons

The Article VI Blog with Lowell Brown and John Schroeder has a fantastic post with detailed accounts of the way those people opposing Prop. 8 in California are harassing Mormons. As you may know, Prop. 8 in California is the attempt to amend that state's Constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman. Earlier this year, the California State Supreme Court decided by a 4-3 vote that a previous mandate from the people of California violated the state's Constitution by defining marriage as between a man and a woman. The only recourse left to the people of California is to amend their Constitution, which it looks like they will be able to do by voting Yes on Prop. 8. Those voting No on Prop. 8 have now sunk to new lows to intimidate people into not supporting Prop. 8. The part that really disappoints me the most is that Mormons opposing Prop. 8 are helping to make sure Mormons supporting Prop. 8 can be intimidated and ridiculed more easily. So much for "being one."
