What is this crap about us splintering? More hope for the homosexuals?

The only "right" under question is what the homosexuals call their relationships.

Unfortunately, there is some division within the ranks. Not nearly as much as our lib friends would like to believe, but it does exist. There is a small but very vocal minority of Evangelicals who have been seething over the fact that the gays have singled out the LDS church (Mormons) as a primary cause of their loss. These people see the LDS church as a bigger threat than the normalization of homosexuality so, they are extremely upset about all of the attention the church is getting. One poster here on FR claimed the only reason the church fought against gay marriage was to promote Mitt Romney for President in 2012. Combine all of that with the good publicity the 2002 Olympics generated and it hasn’t been a good time for those obsessed with criticizing the LDS church. So, you can understand the frustration.

Again, these people are few in numbers but they, like the radical gays who we are up against, will not be swayed by reason. I think Prop 8 has brought together, in a very good way, many religious communities in CA and elsewhere so, we don’t need to listen to, nor should we, the rantings of our own lunatic fringe and we can just let the libs fantasize about our coalition falling apart. Marriage is a holy institution, created by Him for His purposes. All people of faith, regardless of doctrinal differences, must rally around this sacred institution if we are to save it from those who would profane it for hate’s sake.

What, again nothing about the splintering on their side from blacks and Hispanics voting for Prop 8? Any splintering on our side is small potatoes compared to that.
