Mormons suffer backlash

Re “Angrier response to Prop. 8 arises,” Nov. 13

I have read the articles about how gay couples are distraught at the passage of Proposition 8.

How about an article about how devastating it is for faithful Mormons to see their temple property trampled? Why not publish pictures showing signs reportedly held by demonstrators that read “Mormon scum”?

It has been reported that donors to Proposition 8 are being blacklisted, rocks have been thrown through church windows, businesses are being boycotted and a book sacred to Mormons was found ablaze on a front porch. Hmmm ... scapegoats, temples attacked, books burning. Does this sound vaguely familiar?

Many who share my views -- the majority of Nov. 4’s electorate -- are hiding their yellow signs and bumper stickers for fear of being “outed” and attacked, verbally and physically. The vocal minority is on the rampage.
