You may also want to be aware of La Shawn Barber’s comments about the targeted attacks on Mormons. She wondered why Mormons were singled out despite the fact that 70% of blacks supported Prop 8 – see Prop 8 – Blacks and Mormons.

Writing at American Thinker yesterday, Cornell Law Prof. William A. Jacobson says, "It's Time to Speak Out Against the 'Mormon Boycott'," which includes links to what Prof. Jacobson says is only a "sampling" of activities directed specifically at Mormons, but also to non-LDS boycott targets including a link describing an interesting pre-vote dust-up within the Association of American Law Schools over their upcoming convention in San Diego. His American Thinker article concludes:

In the end, the supporters of gay marriage who engage in anti-Mormon hate speech will realize that they have damaged their own cause. Lashing out at others and engaging in religious bigotry does not constitute an argument in favor of gay marriage. Regardless of one's position on gay marriage, it is time to speak out against the "Mormon boycott." There simply is no one else who will, if we don't.
