8: The Mormon Proposition
Mormons and the Mormon Church donated over half the money that was spent to finance the Proposition 8 campaign that took away the rights of gays and lesbians in California to get married.
What a mean, horrible thing for a "church" to do to harmless, innocent people.
Anyone know what Romney's take on this might be? I haven't heard him mention anything.

I will never forgive the Mormons for this particular hateful outrage.

(confirmed also by an author of a new book on Romney)
Until 1978, African-Americans were very restricted in the roles they could serve in the Mormon Church. To his credit, Romney always opposed that discrimination.
