Mormon money, propaganda and flat-out lies about what Prop 8 would do are what made it pass. Californians would have rejected it if not for the Mormon Church's political machine. It might take a few years, but we'll chase their asses back to Utah next time around and get it done right.

The lies were in two areas:

1. Their informational leaflets/commercials either implied (or in the case of some leaflets, explicitly said) that if Prop 8 didn't pass, churches would be forced to perform gay marriages. An outright lie.

2. The Yes on Prop 8 campaign downplayed the Utah Mormon domination of their get-out-the-vote effort and donation base. Many California Mormon stake leaders had their wards bishops TELL their congregation how to vote on the proposition, and told them to help with the GOTV. An obscenely illegal use of the Mormon church's tax exempt status. Their tax exempt status should be stripped from them, as the orders DID come from Mormon leadership (one of their '12 Apostles') in Utah. If more people knew how much of Yes on Prop 8's money and manpower came from Mormons (and in particular, orders from Utah), it would have been an issue.

It's because they know there isn't a valid argument against gay marriage without bringing religion into the equation.

California's proposition system is bullshit, at any rate. A 51% majority shouldn't be able to overturn a court ruling, the courts exist to prevent the majority from legislating prejudice on the minority. A 66.7% vote should be required to overturn a court decision.
