"Even though the LDS Church had previously played outsized roles in campaigns against same-sex marriage in Alaska and Hawaii, the magnitude and intensity of LDS involvement in California's 'Yes on 8' campaign exceeded LDS activity in any prior political campaign except the fight against the Equal Rights Amendment. Revelations of the LDS Church's heavy involvement in Proposition 8 stunned many Californians and contributed to a national perception of the church as a leading opponent of LGBT civil equality and as a focus of LGBT activism in postelection 2008 and beyond."
