In the wake of a sometimes bitter, and ultimately successful, campaign to ban same-sex marriage in California, leaders of the Mormon church are calling for civility and kindness from those on both sides of the issue.
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints played a vigorous role in the campaign to pass Proposition 8, which voters approved Tuesday. At the behest of church leaders, thousands of Mormons worked as grass roots volunteers and gave tens of millions of dollars to the campaign.
Salt Lake City-based church elder L. Whitney Clayton says the church is genuinely concerned about the emotional divide created by the gay marriage issue and says he hopes people will treat each other with civility and respect.
