Inversion of Values Again: Mormon Leaders Claim Victim Status for Removing Right to Marry from Gays

Here is that inversion of values again, about which I blogged yesterday (here):

Oh the pain, the pain, of having your callousness, inhumanity, and arrogant assumption of privilege shown for what it is. And oh the sacrifice, the great sacrifice, made in the name of denying others what you insist upon for yourself.

Poor, poor Mormon leadership. You’d almost think that someone had spent tens of millions of dollars and told endless lies about them all in the name of taking away one of their fundamental rights.

Those who remove rights from a stigmatized group of human beings, who assault the families, relationships, and humanity of that groups of human beings, now wish for us to think they are the victims?
