Schwarzenegger: Mormon Segregationists

Schwarzenegger makes the connection with Prop 8 not allowing gay marriage with previous laws that prohibited blacks from marrying whites:
"I think it is unfortunate, obviously, but it's not the end, because I think this will go back into the courts, this will go back to the Supreme Court, because the Supreme Court very clearly in California has declared this unconstitutional. It's the same as in the 1948 case when blacks and whites were not allowed to marry. This falls into the same category."
The racist Mormon Church didn't think blacks had souls until the late-70s, now they think gay marriage in another obvious right they think they can deny. Civil rights are civil rights and are not subject to some hick from Utah and his six wives to interfere with.
