Mormon Church finally launches official Attack of Hawaii marriage equality... [View all]

after being strangely silent on the issue, the Mormon Church Inc has finally launched its official attack on marriage equality in Hawaii, now that the governor has called for a special legislative session to consider the issue.

This official attack was read to congregations across the island. Mormons were told to protest as private citizens in an attempt to make it look like it is a matter of personal choice, not official doctrine.

Mormons are advised to phrase their discriminations against LGBTs as part of their religious rights to discriminate in order to
"...protect individuals and small businesses from being required to assist in promoting or celebrating same-sex marriages."


Yet if a person refused to business with a Mormon because the Mormon religion was considered an abomination, those poor offended Mormons would be screaming bloody murder.
