Default California prop 8

I really haven't paid too much attention to this other than from another board, Mormon Apologetics & Discussion Board, but it seems that after once again passing, the GLB community have decided that it was all the Mormon's fault. They have staged protests at LDS temples and probably chapels this sunday to talk about how the LDS church "hates" gays.

While I'm not sure of the math, I don't think that there are 8 million mormons in California. The church recommended that we donate time and effort to pro-prop 8 causes but I don't think they gave directly. Also, I'm pretty sure the catholic - protestant communities had their own support for this. I'm not sure if they are being protested. However, the LDS are. Is it a surprise to some that the LDS church doesn't foster homosexuality? I'm also pretty sure we aren't the only ones.

Just an odd series of actions to me. Why the LDS church is being blamed and not nearly every other religion and group isn't is perplexing. It may be bias in reporting too. I'm not sure if there is focus on any other group either.
