Jonah's Latest, Ctd.

Goldberg sets up more straw-men in an additional post on Mormons and prop 8:

If opposition to gay marriage is morally indistinguishable from Jim Crow racism, anti-Semitism and the like (as so many of you say), why on earth aren't you screaming bloody murder at Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid and the other Democratic politicians who run the US governmemt? [sic] Surely, they matter more than a few Mormon donors. Why aren't they bigots even though they hold the same fundamental position as Mormons?

Er: all those people opposed Prop 8. The Mormons maxed out on contributing money for it. And some of us have held Democrats, including Obama, to account. But at least they support civil unions with the same rights and responsibilities as civil marriage. The LDS church doesn't, and neither does Jonah, so far as I know. Here's a practical question for those seeking civil unions that are not the equal of civil marriage: what marital rights should be withheld from gay couples - and why?
