Make a Donation in Tommy Boy's Name to Invalidate Prop 8

Post by _Dwight Frye »

From Invalidate Prop. 8!:

Send a message to the Mormon Church, whose members raised more than $15 million to fund the deceitful advertising campaign for Proposition 8, the initiative that takes away the right to marry for same sex couples in California!

Make a donation, in the name of the president of the Mormon Church, to support the legal organizations working to invalidate Proposition 8 and to fund grass-roots activities in support of full marriage equality. For every donation of $5 or more, the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center will send the following postcard to President Thomas Monson’s office in Salt Lake City, acknowledging your donation in his name:

Dear President Monson:

A donation has been made in your name by _________________ to “invalidateprop8.org” to overturn California's Proposition 8 and restore fundamental civil rights to all citizens of California. The money will be donated to legal organizations fighting the case and to support grass-roots activities in support of full marriage equality. Although we decry the reprehensible role the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints leadership played in denying all Californians equal rights under the law, we are pleased a donation has been made on your behalf in the effort to overturn the discrimination your church members helped enshrine in the California Constitution. Given that throughout its history the Mormon Church has been subjected to bigotry, we hope you appreciate the donation in your name to fight religious bigotry here in California.


Let’s work to overturn Prop. 8 while sending a message to the Mormon Church that it’s wrong for any organization to exert political influence to deny the civil rights of any group!

_____________________________________________
I've made my donation.

No thanks. There never has been any compelling reason for the state to recognize gay marriages.

There's never been any compelling reason for the state not to recognize them, either.

Untrue. Federal courts have upheld DOMA and, in so doing, have stated government rationale for not granting the rights of gays to be married.

I keep hearing about the deceitfulness of the church. I haven't actually seen anything deceitful yet.

Does anyone have any examples?

Well, except for that whole pesky democratic process where the majority of the voters decided they don't want gay marriage in their state.

Like when the majority of the voters wanted separate drinking fountains for "whites" and "coloreds?"

Cite(s)?
"Moving beyond apologist persuasion, LDS polemicists furiously (and often fraudulently) attack any non-traditional view of Mormonism. They don't mince words -- they mince the truth."
