THe Mormon reference was to California receiving what was reported as large amounts of money to fund the opposition. Of course they aren;t the only religion or group to fight it.

And they have every right to do so. This is the way it SHOULD be done, has to be done, by voting. Not by shooting abortion clinic workers or rioting.

But when you say that this is because, according to some religious beliefs, homosexuality is a sin, then personal belief is being imposed on everyone's life- something I think Lane wrote excellently about earlier today.

In fact, I just looked up a list of sins, and see that being a busybody is on it. :)

The Scriptures are not the ultimate interpretation of right and wrong for many of us, and while I accept that you have every right to believe certain ways, and to use the political system to impose specific religious beliefs based on ever changing concepts of "sin", I can be sorry that this is so.
