The Prop 8 protesters have reached a new low. They've gotten hold of lists of the Mormons who donated to the campaign, and they're now calling those people's employers and railing on them for hiring bigots. (My mom has a friend in California whose employer got one of those phone ...
Many of you have probably already heard about the gay rights protest outside the Los Angeles Temple this afternoon, which you can watch via Connor's blog. And most of you have probably seen the completely bigoted anti-Mormon commercial that aired on California TV on Tuesday as well.
