It’s really shocking how people have picked up this crazy “criticism violates my first amendment rights!” nonsense and have run wild with it!

There is that notion that freedom is happy and carefree, a return to a childlike state without worries and constraints.
In reality, of course, there will be quite a bit of conflict and resistance when you encounter other free people who have different ideas than you do.

Joseph Smith:

“With regard to elections, some say all the Latter-day Saints vote together, and vote as I say. But I never tell any man how to vote or whom to vote for. But I will show you how we have been situated by bringing a comparison. Should there be a Methodist society here and two candidates running for office, one says, ‘If you will vote for me and put me in governor, I will exterminate
the Methodists, take away their charters,’ etc. The other candidate says, ‘If I am governor, I will give all an equal privilege.’ Which would the Methodists vote for? Of course they would vote en masse for the candidate that would give them their rights.”

As emotions subside and we begin to consider this entire brouhaha in the cold light of day, it’s gonna become increasingly apparent that those on the Yes side voted to amend a constitution that they never understood in the first place:

Ignorance is the meat-and-potatoes of the Yes side.

That more Americans have seen more gay families on display during the past week than ever before in their lifetimes is our gravy.
