Homophobic Mormon Cult Working To Overturn Maryland Marriage Equality


Cult founder Joseph Smith and family honoring the concept of
marriage between one man and one women...snark!!
Like they did in the California prop 8 campaign,  cult members of the mormon church are working to impose their homophobic beliefs on the state of Maryland.  I thought religious freedom was important.  
Cult member Mitt Romney has been bitching about it lately.  Doesn't that include the freedom to not live according to hateful bigot's religious beliefs? Oh, "religious freedom" only matters if you agree with the mormon cult.
Members of the Mormon Church in Maryland are working to overturn the state’s recently passed marriage equality law, according to an email obtained by the Washington Blade.
In the message dated March 29 sent to D.C. and Southern Maryland-area church members, the writer states that a coalition of inter-denominational Maryland churches has joined to place a referendum before voters in November on the marriage law before it goes into effect.
“We need to collect approximately 200,000 signatures by the end of May,” the email states. “We are looking for people to gather signatures within the LDS community.”
LDS refers to the church’s formal name, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Those involved with the effort have told the Blade the message isn’t an official message from church leadership either at the local level or from its headquarters in Salt Lake City, but is rather part of a local ad hoc effort to challenge Maryland’s marriage law.
The email says the “important effort” is being led by Martha Schaerr, an LDS member who’s organizing signature collection within Montgomery County and within the church. Another named organizer in the email is Teressa Wallace.
