This shows how the Mormons are champion liars when

they say they're in favor of gay people having all the rights of marriage as long as it's not called marriage.

That was their comment after their unspeakable involvement in Proposition 8.

But look:

Hawaii is latest civil unions battleground

By MARK NIESSE – 1 hour ago

HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii, the state that adopted the nation's first "defense of marriage" constitutional amendment a decade ago, has now become the latest battleground in the fight for same-sex civil unions.

It would become the fifth state to legalize the alternative to gay marriage if the Democrat-dominated Legislature and Republican governor approve a civil union law. The measure was passed by the state House this month but it now faces the Senate, where a divided committee is to vote Tuesday.

The Mormon church, which campaigned in California last year for a gay marriage ban, has not openly rallied opposition to civil unions in Hawaii this year. But some members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been sharing e-mails urging people to calls their legislators opposing the bill.

"In Hawaii, people still believe in traditional marriage and the sanctity of marriage," said Dennis Arakaki, executive director of the Hawaii Family Forum, which also represents the Hawaii Catholic Conference. "There's no indication that values or perspectives have changed."

Several thousand people gathered at the state Capitol on Sunday for a demonstration organized by Arakaki's group.

Disgusting.

1. They disgust me.

That bullshit they are spewing is hate. Plain and simple. They are not fooling anybody.

2. It's not just the Mormons

That execrable piece of crap known as Measure 36 in Oregon was sold to the public as being just about the word "marriage," and that if the legislature or the people wanted civil unions, there wasn't going to be any formal opposition to that. Well, a lot of naive people voted for that "one man, one woman" bit of bigotry, and then guess what? If you said, "The same people who promulgated Measure 36 turned around and killed any civil union legislation," then you're smarter than a significant segment of the Oregon voting population.

But then, you probably knew that.

It wasn't just Mormons; this whole program is based on a bigotry that says some citizens aren't worthy of full participation in society simply because they say so.

3. Joseph Smith + Mormons = Con-Men & Liars.

4. Thought I would let you know that Mormons are often advised by the bishop of the ward,

to contact whomever needs to be contacted. The Bishop will only do if they here from the Stake President, who hears it from the Area Presidents, who hear it from the Quorum of Twelve, who hears it from the First Presidency, which would President Monson. Nothing happens at the ward level that the First presidency doesn't know about. Take it from me, I am very much aware of how they work.

Picture of the LDS Hierarchy:
