So Much for Tolerance

Chuck Colson posted this entry about the aftermath of Proposition 8's passage:


"The ad ran all over California on Election Day—and surely sets a record for anti-religious bigotry. Two clean-cut young men knock at the door of a lesbian couple. The men identify themselves as Mormon missionaries. "We're here to take away your rights," they announce.

They snatch the women's wedding rings off their fingers and ransack their home. When they find the couple's marriage license, they rip it in half. "Say no to a church taking over your government," the voiceover says. "Vote 'no' on Proposition 8."

Despite such vicious attacks, California's Proposition 8, which defined marriage as between one man and one woman, passed. But the assaults on churches have just begun."



Here's the commercial mentioned:
