On Prop 8: Mormon Persecution, Marriage and the Refuge of Patriotism
On the one hand, if someone was vandalizing my property, I would stop them. On the other hand...
Be honest, how often did a Mormon even try to stop any protesters from vandalizing their church at all - much less by the use of any kind of force?

On Prop 8: Mormon Persecution, Marriage and the Refuge of Patriotism
Informative post, however...
"...when the gay rights community-legitimately!-lashed out against the Mormons and other religious groups that supported Prop 8."
"legitimately"???? So you think vandalizing church property was a 'legitimate' way to protest the church's position on Prop 8?

A.R.Chrisman,
You (and some others apparently) are missing the point of my post. I got the article, in fact I saved it for future reference. I just took issue with the suggestion that besieging people's churches after the election (not to mention a few churches and even people's homes during the election) is a 'legitimate' way for folks to express their opposition.
And what do you mean "Let the General Authorities figure out how to deal with the Church's property."? It's not just about property. Do you really think that sort of intimidation has no effect on people's ability or willingness to participate in their own democracy? What happened to the idea of civil discourse?
