Mormons funding Hawaii civil union attack website?


Remember how I talked about Hawaii Family Forum and its efforts to stop civil unions in Hawaii? Well, it turns out that they’re getting some help. And if you’ve read my post on California’s Proposition 8 you’ll recognize the funders.

Andrew Cooper (via Rick MacPherson’s post) dug up some unsurprising news: a horrid website trying to foment dissent for the civil union bill is based in Orem, Utah. 98% of religious adherents in the Provo-Orem area are Mormons.

That means the odds are quite good that the good ol’ fancy underwear Mormons are bankrolling efforts to continue discrimination.

Shocked? I’m not. The Mormon church is extremely rich and uses its fortune to try to force its religion down everybody’s throat, whether by funding missionaries to spread their gospel to everybody who will hear or by trying to cram discriminatory laws through our legislatures.

Adding to this, Mr. Cooper has also found similarities between this attack site and one attacking Honolulu’s proposed rail system. That connection is a little more bizarre, I have to admit.
