Ouch

I just read some articles on KSL related to the passage of proposition 8 in California. There have been some very strong reactions from the gay community to the Latter-day Saints (LDS) support of this proposition. It's times like these when I wonder what the future holds.

It reminds me of my mother singing in a LDS women's group trying to rally people to vote against the equal rights amendment. I was young at the time and didn't know why she was doing what she did, but I remember being impressed that she was so involved.

Bishop Wester expresses solidarity with LDS Church over Prop. 8 is one article that struck me. It is nice to see churches rallying together to support such a cause.

How much good could have been done with the millions and millions of "christian"dollars that were spent to promote injustice and inequality. Millions that could have been used to do so much good around the globe. Buying TV ads that promote prejudice, clichee and fear.... rallying against your neighbors disrespecting the Lord's gift of love... all of this the name of the Lord...that's deepy unchristian and should't be supported by any christian, whatever your faith is...it is simply wrong.
