Mormons & Proposition 8 - Page 6
According to the source below the LDS Church was behind Focus on the Family in Spending on Prop 8.
| QUOTE |
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. » A Colorado Springs-based evangelical group spent more than three times the amount spent by the Mormon church to support a California ballot initiative that outlawed gay marriage. Data released this week by the California secretary of state's office show Focus on the Family donated $657,000 in money and services to ProtectMarriage.com, a California coalition that supported Proposition 8. |

It is a great freedom to be able to spend ones own money to support causes that he or she believes in. This should not be a reflection of his or her religion but an expression of ones freedom of speech and freedom of commerce.
I hope people keep getting angry at the Church for their support of Prop 8. It is not a bad thing for the Church to take a position that is controversial. I would not want it otherwise.

It seems like LDS Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was not pleased with the money the Church has used to stop gay marriage:

And the other day, Reid told gay rights leaders in Washington for a weekend demonstration that his church blew too much cash opposing Proposition 8 -- the voter-approved California measure banning same-sex marriage.
It's the first time Reid has spoken out about Mormon money and Prop 8. Well, not really spoken out. Three leaders who met with him privately shared this with the Salt Lake Tribune -- including Fresno's own Robin McGehee, who we met down at the pro-same-sex marriage demo in Fresno earlier this year.
Said Reid's spokesman Jon Summers:
"While Senator Reid agrees with his church that marriage is between a man and a woman," Summers said, "he also believes that the resources that went into the Proposition 8 effort could have been put to better use....

We believe in the freedom of speech in this country so whether he's mormon or not he has the right to speak his mind and I support his right to say so. I dont believe he will get in hot water though 'cause he said it in a private meeting.
