No on 8 Leaders Speak

As reported in the Los Angeles Times and on the No on Prop 8 official website, four prominent leaders of the No on 8 campaign issued a statement which included the following passage:

“We achieve nothing if we isolate the people who did not stand with us in this fight. We only further divide our state if we attempt to blame people of faith, African American voters, rural communities and others for this loss."

I can only acknowledge that statement as absolutely true, and hope those flag waving, screaming protesters who attempted to defile a sacred edifice will get this message from their leaders. The protesters' actions, which bear a significant resemblance to a childish temper tantrum, are hurting their own cause.
