Wednesday, 10,000 people marched and rallied against the Mormon church in New York City angry about the loss on Prop. 8.
I think it's a mistake.
When we start making villains out of other people, we are no better. When we call them names, we are no better.
I love the energy. I love the protest and the 10,000 people. But we said we wanted marriage equality. We said we'd never make any church recognize our marriages. It was about equal access to an institution recognized by the government.
And yet there we were, protesting at a church that does not want to recognize us.
