Mormons were bankrolling Prop 8 in California. Not an attack on my personally, but my tribe? Hell yeah.
And I find it particularly galling Mormons, of all groups, with their befuddled and CHANGING beliefs on marriage would want to weigh in on public policy on marriage.
Marriage for time, marriages for eternity, claiming Old Testament justification for polygamy, not engaging in polygamy according to Old Testament strictures, wife coveting, not recognizing 'gentile' marriages, Book of Mormon prohibiting polygamy and Doctrines and Covenants in different editions disallowing and then allowing and then disallowing polygamy while the church hierarchy denies the D&C has ever been changed, marriages performed for dead people with stand-ins, pedo-marriages, claiming polygamy only allowed with consent of the first wife yet allowing it when she doesn't, and allowing divorce and remarriage while claiming adherence to the King James Bible.
Does this sound like an organization anyone would want involved in setting public policy regarding marriage ????

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
