It's the same quiet that we get from feminists concerning the blatant disrespect towards women as seen in pornography. Where's the outcry?

Why do well organized homosexual groups need to say anything. Go look at where all the calls to boycott mormons are coming from. Actually, I'm sure you won't, so here's a list of the websites where you can find these calls
Bligbi.com -- The ramblings of a non-apologetic militant atheist mom doing time in the lonestar state on atheism, religion, feminism, politics and current events.
botcottmormonbusiness.com (Run by one guy)
Stop All Monsters (oooo...blogspot...that's serious)
www.stopthemormons.com (Has about 50 comments. Seems to get very low traffic).
There was one seemingly leading group that had the provided information about the boycott. That was
Stop8. Then again, Stop8 is also running links to articles such as
this one that blame the No on 8 campaign for the loss for running a really lousy campaign. The site appears to be a clearing house of all things commenting on the issue. Then again, judging by the slogan of the site, I have my doubts that it's a serious group that anyone really pays any attention to. The slogan is "Why should we care about equality? Because people are getting [shammed] and it's not cool." (I replaced the expletives for this audience). This one clearly isn't a top-notch organization.
What's more, if you were to venture into the Church's newsroom, you'd see statements from some prominent leaders in the homosexual community that speak against the backlash against Mormons, including the
Anti-Defamation League,
Dale Carpenter or the
Independent Gay Forum and
Charles C. Haynes of the First Amendment Center
Whereas the following leading groups in the No on Prop 8 campaign have no prominent displays encouraging a boycott or protest against the Church
