In an earlier post you called the Mormons "fundamentalist radicals."
No. I said that "Massive contributions to its promotion were funded by
the Mormon Church and *other* fundamentalist radicals". The list of
whom is published here:

My opinion: a pile of politico-religious bigots lacking in the
tolerance for religious beliefs, personal freedom, and human rights
which are at the heart of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
These people are not my friends. The Mormon Church has a long history
of doing violence against innocent gay and lesbian people who want to
live their lives.
I do not, did not propose violence against anyone. You are the one who
suggested that demonstration to must turn to violence.
By doing so, you ascribe anyone who agrees with my feelings on this
subject as "the left" and violent, positioning yourself as a supporter
right in with those on the list above. By your intimations, the Prop 8
supporters can tell me how to live my life and whom I can/cannot
marry. And I have to honor the disrespect they demonstrate for my
civil liberties and human rights through their suborning of the
California State constitutional amendment process.
What will fail is the effort to take away my civil and human
rights ... if I am willing to pay the price to secure them. I also
know that the coin of liberty and freedom always has been, is, will be
blood. Mahatma Gandhi showed us that in the liberation of India. It is
the people who's rights are being elided who are/will be shedding
blood, and will to do so to secure liberty in the future.
I am very willing to shed my blood that others might be freed. Count
on it.
