goodbye, bigots

Mormon Church members are leaving their faith in droves.

The Mormon Church played a huge role in the passage of Proposition 8 in California. Monetary contributions made up $20 million or more in support of destroying the right of gays to marry in the state. In the past week, gay and civil rights activists have been demonstrating in front of churches all over the state, stopping traffic and generally causing chaos for churchgoers on Sunday mornings.

A website of Andrew Callahan, a high priest of the Mormon Church, who is being excommunicated for his anti-prop beliefs. It contains letters of literally HUNDREDS of individuals, even entire families, who are leaving the Mormon Church because of its involvement in politics (which the church is against) and its bigoted attitude toward the LGBT community.

While all the Prop 8 wars are raging on in California, a Connecticut judge decided this week to allow gay marriages in the state.

Here are some clips of notable people speaking about Prop H8te:

Drew Barrymore was out and about in California leading up to the vote.



Bill O'Reilly pissed me off on his show recently (he always does anyway).


Just my opinion... when they talk about these churches being "private institutions", I believe they can no longer be classified as such since they became involved in a clearly public and political campaign against the rights of a certain group. And as far as black churches go? Black voters may have turned out in higher numbers to help elect the first black president, and yes it may seem like equal rights activists are being PC by not attacking those institutions, but black churches did not contribute to the passage of a hate initiative monetarily like the right wing fundamentalist white churches did.


What a rollercoaster week for gay rights this has been!
