I think it is pretty funny that the Mormons are spear-heading the anti-
gay-marriage movement here in California.

Or is my bump of irony too large?

I think so. It is misleading to call them the one who are 'spear-heading' it. Do
you really think their role is more of a 'spear-head' than the Catholic role?

It really is more accurate to view the movement as based on a wider coaltion
than this. LOTS of other groups, mostly conservative religious groups, are
joined in this coalition to overturn the disastrous and unconstitutional
decision of the CA Supreme Court.

B - It's all about intolerance, ignorance and hatred...there is no
love at all in banning gay folk. This is no different than banning
those who are left handed. Disgusting that there are those who think
they are better...as if God and the belief in is some sort of elitist
group.
In my opinion.

Banning them from what? You seem to have confused what this thread is about.
They are not 'banned' from marriage. They have the same right to marry a spouse
of the opposite sex that all of us have, just unequal interest.

Neither are they banned from Church, as long as they are repentant and/or
continent as needed.
