Jim Burroway is spot-on with his criticism of the Church of LDS and its whining about the protests.(My post on it is here; it was picked up by HuffPost as well):
The leadership of the LDS Church has their hand prints all over the campaigns in Arizona and California:
* We know Arizona state Senators who didn't want to be present for the vote to place Prop 102 on the ballot, but were coerced and harassed by their bishops and other church members into cutting short their vacations to cast their vote.
* Once on the ballot in California and Arizona, we know that Mormon prophets called on their followers to give of their "time and means," and that this call went out to all Mormons in California and Arizona, as well as in Utah.
* We also know that the Arizona anti-gay campaign was under the direct leadership of some of the most prominent LDS members in the state.
