It really is quite ironic that the gays are accusing the Mormons of hate, the Mormons are accusing the gays of hate, and the Mormons are accusing their own detractors of hate.

All these charges of hatred are simply a means of shutting down healthy debate - a vital component of free speech.

If Mormons continue to try and squelch freedom of speech, they might find THEMSELVES under charges of hate speech against the gay community.

There's a lot more truth to that than some are willing to admit. A big part of the problem is that you had one group of people in one state pushing a lot of money into another state to influence a state proposition.

It doesn't even matter if it was Mormons - it was a group of people from one state responsible for the majority of out-of-state money involved in fighting a proposition in another state. Anytime that happens, it's going to be ugly, and you'll have people accusing others of hatred.

Hell, I'd be pissed off if some group in another state tried to get involved in any local or state elections in my state. Even if I agreed with that group, I wouldn't want them trying to influence any elections in my state. It's bad enough as it is with the various groups trying to influence the national elections.

If it's not in the US Constitution, states need to decide on their own, and not have outsiders trying to influence local or state elections or propositions.

God hates sin. He also tells us to hate sin. I think hate is a good thing when aimed at the right target.

I suppose it is like a gun. It all depends on how you use it.
