Brett,
This just galls black churchs that "we" could consider ourselves a minority worth having a cause.
I know I'm sounding bitter, and I am. They are the reason for the victory of Prop 8. I know we have made a lot of the money the Mormons sent into California, but face it, there are not enough Mormons in California to make that big a difference........

But the money the LDS put into this fight, along with Catholic money, etc., was enough to make a difference in winning the vote.
I understand about the money from the LDS church and the catholic bishops.........but their refusal to have the same compassion they asked from so many white people to stand up for them when they had no voice........inexcusable.
I think that the argument being made that the LDS church is participating in civil issues in such a strong and large and demonstrable fashion begs the question: where or what is the separation of church and state?
