Prop 8 Protesters at Mormon Temples
Protesters rallied around the Mormon temple in Salt Lake yesterday. Here's a firsthand account of what happened there, and here's a video.
It seems like the protesters are a little late, since the legislation already passed.
It's a divisive issue. The wife of Steve Young, famous Mormon footballer, is against it. I've joked that that's what you get for working on Sunday. Of course, I work on Sunday too, at BYU. Don't do anything crazy, Kathy.
Catholics have come to our defense.
Protests were also held at the LA temple. Here's a gallery of pictures. And video:
Someone argued that Obama helped Prop 8 pass, because he helped get out the black vote, and blacks voted overwhelmingly for Prop 8:

They feel singled out and discriminated against, so they single out and discriminate against someone else. Makes so much sense.
ReplyDeleteI always get worried when I see large groups of people demonizing other large groups of people. As soon as anyone stops seeing a person as a person, bad things happen. It's that whole self-betrayal/collusion thing. And as soon as an entire nation gets sucked into it, we're in trouble.
