Following the passing of Proposition 8 in California, the church released statements urging civility and reaffirming its position on the issue. The church also noted that two Roman Catholic bishops released statements decrying religious bigotry against Mormons.
The church on Friday pointed to additional third-party voices that provide useful insights into the reaction following the vote. Some of these individuals supported Proposition 8, and some were against it.
These materials may be helpful to the news media, bloggers, church members and the general public in gaining a broader view of the aftermath of the Proposition 8 vote. All people of faith have cause for concern when others try to remove their legitimate voice from the public square.
