All that they have to do is give up their tax exempt status. It is ironic that these institutions give lip service to truth and integrity, unless it is not to their benefit.

Guess you forgot to mention the $20,000,000+ raised by the Mormon members and their groups – in addition to the $189,000 by the Mormon church?

Sounds like a lot more was done by the Mormons and their church.

Focus on the "Family" is out over a million dollars (because prop 8 will be overturned) and there are 20% less anti-family people getting paychecks. Yeah!!!!! So it's a win-win for all the gays!
