Very good points and a nice reading of the teaching.

I don't consider all those who favor Prop 8 anti-gay, although I'm sure there are a fair number of homophobes in their number. What I'm considered about the Church's stance on this is that it seemingly justifies those who do hate gay people in their hatred. I know that the Church doesn't intend this message, and these people will never claim to "hate" gay people, per se, but they feel completely justified in their opinion that gays are weird/freaks/perverts/etc and they therefore have no obligation to examine and overcome their feelings of discomfort around them.
