Is that because of the Church or because the issue of gay marriage is far more emotional and mobilizing to mormons than riverboard gambling in lakes?
I just think to many mormons the issue turned many into a powderkeg from the get go, once the Brethren threw in the match with the indicators of the Godhead's support of their cause and they just went to town.
