Suppose you read that opponents of same-sex marriage had taken ads in newspapers shouting "The Jews are Coming, the Jews are Coming" to warn people against the nefarious influence of Jewish organizers who were (disproportionately to their numbers) involved in supporting same-sex marriage?
I would think it was disgusting bigotry.
Now imagine that supporters of same-sex marriage take ads in newspapers shouting "The Mormons are Coming, the Mormons are coming!" to warn people against the nefarious influence of Mormon organizers who were (disproportionately to their numbers) involved in opposing same-sex marriage?
I would think it was disgusting bigotry.
The former has not happened; the latter has.
