TV AD #3: A well known black civil rights figure or minister speaks directly into the camera: "The Mormon Church of Utah is behind Prop 8 on the ballot. They want to ban gay marriage. Did you know that for over a century, the Mormon Church banned blacks from becoming members? Now they want to tell Californians what our marriages should look like? (Gentle voice: “Vote no on 8. Please don't discriminate.”)
If that where true why where there so many Black members that moved to SLC with the Utah Pioneers. Blacks where bard from the priesthood and holding leadership positions until 1978. However... JS the founder of the church ordained black priests. This offended some people and is one of the factors that lead to a mob lyncing him.
