I know this is a bit of an old issue, but my dad sent me this article today and it summed up so perfectly how I feel about this issue. It addresses the reasons why the mormons have been the main target of these vicious attacks. I guess it is par for the course for the mormons, who have suffered from much worse persecution than this in our history...
"WE ALL ARE MORMONS!"

We are living in an era of insanity! Witness the latest attempt to remake
the nature of our country, founded and established on certain principles that
have been the envy of the entire world. The latest assault on our country and
its values comes in the form of vicious and criminal violence against the Mormon
church in Westwood, California
Interesting how the selective self-righteous indignation on the part of
the radical Gay activists is played out here: they bewail the blow to freedom
and justice! But I thought we just had elections, where the majority of
Californians expressed their views in a free and open manner. Are we not a
nation of laws? Dare we relive the McCarthy era, where Americans were harassed
and threatened with the loss of their jobs for believing in a certain way? If
the Gay radicals should have their way, untold numbers of Americans would live
under the threat of the Gay-Lesbian "thought police," where
individuals that reject the Gay lifestyle would be sought out and have sanctions
brought against them.
It's bad enough for those working in the entertainment industry here
in Los Angeles, where a fog of political correctness and a bending over
backwards to accommodate, even promote Gay lifestyle is in full gear. Let none
dare say that this type of activity is anathema to our country, our morality,
and the debauchery of our young people.
Let it be stated unequivocally: The radical Gay attack on the Mormons is
the shot over the bow against the United States of America. There was a time
when what a man did in his bedroom was sanctified between himself and God. Now
we are being served an "in-your-face" smorgasbord of smut and
licentiousness as being between people who only "want their civil
rights."
Hogwash! We are dealing with the equivalent of a moral takeover of the
country that has as its bedrock a belief in God and His promise for humanity.
They don't want civil rights! What they desire is quasi Gay/Lesbian
hegemony, where a huge "bookburning, " reminiscent of the Nazis, will
purge any remnants of the "Christian, White, mainstream America" that
has given ALL AMERICANS the most profound scope of freedom, liberty, and justice
that Mankind has yet to experience.
People have perhaps wondered: why the Mormons? Answer: they are a small,
yet vocal Christian minority. They have been selected by the mobs as vulnerable,
a group that might not have such massive support among America's Christians.
We who are friends of the Mormons, their patriotism, their family values,
will not falter in our continued support of these dear Americans. Let us recall
the Christian minister Niemoller, whose admonition during those dark years of
Nazi Germany moved us to our core:
"When they came for the gypsies, I said nothing, because I wasn't
a gypsy. When they came for the homosexuals, I said nothing, because I
wasn't a homosexual. When they came for the Jews, I said nothing, because I
wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I said nothing, because
I wasn't a Catholic.... ..then they came for me, and there was no one left to
defend me."
My fellow Americans, in the coming battle for the heart and soul of
America and everything we cherish, may this call to arms be the mantra of every
concerned patriot.
AMEN!!!
