ERA was a bigger involvement from the Church by FAR. ERA was an amendment to the U.S. constitution and the Church mobilized on a national scale. Prop 8 was peanuts compared to the Church's effort on ERA.
I was just a kid back in the late 70s and lived in San Diego. I remember going to an Area conference in Pasadena (Rose Bowl) were Spencer W. Kimball (the prophet at the time) was speaking. There were many vocal Anti LDS protesters outside the Rose Bowl as well as people passing out No and Yes literature on ERA.
