Of all the tragedies in our nation due to the passage of proposition 8 this year, the most significant loss must indeed be the hardening of attitudes on both sides of the same-sex marriage debate.
While equal marriage activists have largely recognized the groups of Mormons who actively opposed their own churches stance on Prop 8, at a more grassroots level the anti-Mormon vitriol his reached ever higher levels. Many pro-queer individuals see the civil rights of LGBT people sacrificed at the alter of The Mormon Church's political agenda. They feel angry at the Church and its members for causing so much hurt.
