Your little brother says hello.
Save a gay, save a tree.
We need him on sunglasses on a note.
Even if it is a note that doesn't represent any worth.
Obama on the "Badass" dollar bill
300 acres of gays are cut down to produce one Big Mac.

Dude, you can't be a minister if you smoke pot.
unitarian, dogg, they're all toasted
Only one of these groups spent millions to make sure the prop passed, and is much more easily targeted/identified then by going "you people".

You generally don't tell the people you agree with 90% of the time to go fuck themselves, especially if you need their help. I'd also wager theres more division on this issue internally amongst blacks and latinos then there is in the LDS church.
I mean we do live in a country that allied with Stalin to take down Hitler. Choosing the lesser of two evils is like our past time.

The fact is that on the national level huge inroads have been made in America on the whole issue, including acceptance or at least tolerance of whats thought to be the homosexual lifestyle. Inertia is going to win this one out eventually, but theres a case to be made to push the agenda via legislation now (once society fails to grind to a halt due to homosexual marriage being made legal, the more reasonable of its opponents will give up the ghost). Honestly though much of the animosity in the minority communities still comes from their respective churches on the local level, and rather then combat them on a direct level I think its better to go around them and just prove them wrong.

So the answer is... pick the white church and blame them?
Lame.
And you didn't see the black and Latino community donating millions upon millions of dollars and thousands upon thousands of man hours to the "yes on 8" campaign, whereas you did see the Mormons doing that. So, you know, I guess you could call it "scapegoating," if by "scapegoating" you mean "holding the people who were most responsible for proposition 8 passing responsible for proposition 8 passing."
Would love to see you try and cite this.
I thought it was common knowledge that the Mormons put by far the most $$$$$$ in the fight
