Try to look at this from the perspective of people who are adamantly opposed to Prop 8. The church is becoming the public face for Prop 8. Members from the church are literally going door to door soliciting votes for Prop 8. People answer their phones at night, and there is a Mormon on the other end, identifying themselves as a Mormon, and promoting Prop 8. Church members have funded more than any other single group in support of Prop 8. There have even been discussions about church members outside of California making calls to Californians urging them to support the proposition.
Is it really surprising, given the massive church support for Prop 8, that those opposed to Prop 8 would target the individuals most responsible for Prop 8 advocacy? The Mormons have gone to the homes of people, gone to their businesses, called people on their phones, urging support for Prop 8. Why is it out of bounds to protest Mormon involvement at a location most non-Mormons would consider the "Mecca" of the church in Oakland?
