Thomas Jefferson said, "Those who would deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and will not long retain it." Those who would restrict the rights of minorities would do well to contemplate his words.
If he is correct in the last part of his statement, we may expect to see the Mormon religion outlawed, after their overwhelming support for banning gay marriage in California. I, for one, would see this as a tragedy, because it would mean that freedom of religion is gone from this country. I cannot rejoice in the prospect of any group loosing their freedom, even those working actively to take away mine. If anyone is not free, none of us are free.
