The passage of Proposition 8 (November, 2008) in California, which overthrew the right to same-sex marriage, stunned the gay community in the state. There was an immediate backlash against the Mormon Church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), whose members were active in promoting the proposition. Although Mormons are a small minority in the State of California, although most Christian churches joined the campaign, and although a huge majority of Blacks and Latinos voted in favor, the Mormon Church has taken the brunt of the wrath of the gay community. Not all action or sentiment toward the Church has been negative, however. This article reports a few of the favorable reactions and support that the Mormon Church has received.
