A common trope, but a misrepresentation of the truth, which is that the common factor among those who voted for prop 8 were church goers. Well known is that a major force behind the passing of prop 8 was the LDS based out of Utah.

True, their platform is state and business rights, which just happen to be cited every time a discussion on discrimination against gays come up. The correlation is not inconsistent.
I don't dispute this, but I'm curious just the same where you got this (again, not disputing it).
I really can't relate to this. I make a certain kind of product for my clients, anybody can come up to me and pay me for that product. What they cannot do is commission me to make a kind of product that is outside the norm of what I do and I have in fact turned down clients a number of times for this reason. But it wasn't because what the clients were. I simply cannot understand the mentality of living in a country that allows one to start their own business and succeed, only to turn around and put their foot down on someone else. It's utterly un-American in my mind. /soapbox
