LOS ANGELES, CA - NOVEMBER 6: Supporters of same-sex marriage protest near the Los Angeles Mormon Temple, seen in the distance, before marching for miles in protest against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints November 6, 2008 in Los Angeles, California. The protest, which began outside the Los Angeles Mormon temple, opposes massive financial contributions to the Proposition 8 campaign, which voters passed and which changes the California Constitution to make gay marriage illegal. When same-sex marriages became legal in California on June 16, conservative churches vowed to fight it and successfully passed Proposition 8 with funds that dwarfed that of their opponents. Demonstrators say the Mormon Church contributed some $35 million to pass the measure. Getty Images logo Getty Images 43 months ago
