I support the LDS right to encourage people to vote for something, but I also support the right of people to peacefully express their disagreement and disgust at that decision.

Question: How much of a backlash would there have been if those for proposition 8 advertised and promoted a boycott of businesses, organizations, employees of those organizations and so on and so forth. No, not just a boycott of those in support of proposition 8, but with any business that employs and or affiliates with homosexuals in general. Because that is what is being called for. A boycott of Mormons, just because the majority of them supported prop 8.
