Stop the Protesting

Filed Under Free Speech, religion 

I posted an article after the election telling people who didn’t like that Obama won to stop being sore losers and get over the fact that their candidate lost. I would be amiss for not doing the same for opponents to Proposition 8. It failed, and instead of accepting the fact that it did and move on, they decide to whine and protest in the streets causing issues and tie-ups. They harass Mormons, and label all of the State of Utah as bad and say we should boycott it.

While I don’t agree with the amount of money and support the Mormon Church put into the campaign, these actions aren’t going to change anything. Lets get something straight, while Utah may be the home of the Mormon Church (formally called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) not everyone in the state is a member of the church, and even if they are many have either expressed opposition or  simply don’t care. To have people boycott Utah does nothing more than take away money from the local economies when they need money the most.

Grow up, stop being sore losers. If you really want to do something use legal system, file lawsuits, file IRS complaints against the Mormon Church, but don’t take it out blindly on innocent people. Doing so is no better than what you are protesting against, ignorance. 

**My stance on the law itself is the government should allow any constenting adults to marry. Likewise the church shouldn’t care one way or another as the marriages are legal, and not religious. The church should have the right to deny marrying people but people shouldn’t be denied the right to marry.
