NO on Prop 8 Campaign Condemns Threats

NO on Prop 8 Campaign Condemns Threats

“The NO on Prop 8 campaign condemns any sort of threats or vandalism. We understand people are rightfully outraged by the passage of Prop 8. However, we call upon everyone, including Prop 8 supporters who have made serious threats to Prop 8 opponents throughout the state, to express themselves through the correct processes.

“The NO on 8 campaign was about civil rights and seeking equality for all Californians. We have said time and again that the Mormon Church deserves the same respect as any other religion. Sadly, the Mormon Church contributed about $20 million (totaling more than 50 percent of the donations received by the Prop 8 campaign) to impose their views of what marriage should be. Consequently, the proponents of Prop 8 ran a wildly deceptive campaign that used fear and scare tactics, such as exploiting children in television ads, to encourage voters to support eliminating a fundamental right from same-sex couples.”
