Re "An ugly defense of gay rights," Opinion, Dec. 2
The Mormons have publicly advertised themselves as champions of the family. They have defined their public face as friendly, clean-cut men knocking on doors to spread the word. They used that public face to push Proposition 8.
So where was the "religious slander" in the No-on-8 ad that depicted smiling Mormon missionaries knocking on a door and taking away a lesbian couple's wedding license? Jonah Goldberg did not say, and I suspect that he doesn't really think there was any.
No on 8 used Mormon-advertised images to dramatize Mormon-advertised actions. If that's not fair, nothing is.
