The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints campaigned to push through Proposition 8 in California, which removed marriage equality from same-sex couples).

The Mormon’s campaign was particularly ironic, considering that in times past, Mormons faced bald persecution because of their own unique approach to martimony.
