Suppose Evangelicals (who are not very fond of Mormon beliefs) organized a campaign against Mormons in a single state. Suppose they raised a lot of money from other states where they were strong to support an initiative prohibiting your marriages and marginalizing your relationships. Now suppose they primarily used the specious argument that people's children would be indoctrinated into "the Mormon way of life" in the public schools and were able to convince a bare majority to prohibit Mormons from marrying in that state and to annul those marriages that had already occurred. Would you not be upset by this? Would you not call this bigoted and hateful? Would some of your members not stand up and speak out against such actions or even march in protest?
