The No on 8 movement can not take No for an answer. They are protesting in front of the Mormon Temple in LA. This display of religious bigotry is beyond the pale. These people lost the argument in the public square, fair and square. Yet they show their contempt for the voters and their neighbors by protesting an entirely peaceful and lawful religious minority that is exercising its rights to politcal participation.
These same activists are filing frivolous lawsuits to try to have Proposition 8 overturned. The City Attorneys of LA and San Francisco are parties to the lawsuits. By what authority to these people commit their entire cities to their personal political agendas? LA County voted Yes on Prop 8. Blacks and Latinos voted overwhelmingly in favor of Prop 8. I don’t see the gay rights activists marching in black and Latino neighborhoods.
Anti-Mormon bigotry and anti-Christian biogtry is the one form of politically correct bigotry. The gay lobby can safely retaliate against Mormons, in a way that would be unthinkable for them to retaliate against blacks, Latinos or working class whites, all of whom voted solidly for Proposition 8.
