"In the mid-1990s, Hawaii was the first state to grapple with same-sex marriage. The LDS Church joined Catholics, many other Christian churches and business groups to oppose it. The four-year battle, and resulting vote that overwhelming came out against same-sex marriage (70-to-30), Hoag says, was "a turning point in our coalescing with Christian and non-Christian communities."

So that's how the Mormons got allied with the other fundie godbags. What a nice favor we queers did them, helping them to join together for the first time! Doesn't that just get you right here...
Here's what I find about compromise--
don't do it if it hurts inside,
'cause either way you're screwed,
eventually you'll find
you may as well feel good;
you may as well have some pride
