Standing up to bigotry

Today when I got home a nice young man approached me.  He offered to help me carry some groceries up the stairs to my apartment.  His name tag identified him as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon).  I told him no thanks.  He kept pressing me to talk to him, so I politely said:

"I'm very upset about your church's involvement with passing Prop 8.  It was a horrible thing to do and I lost any respect I had for your church."  He wished me a good night and I shut the door.

That's a good way of getting rid of him. They can be pests. I probably wouldn't be as nice as you were. In fact, somebody left a card outside my door advertising a church they belong to. I discarded it.
