prop 8
In 2008, the LDS Church heavily supported California's Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage. The church organized members to donate time and money, contributing an estimated $20 million to the campaign. This political involvement damaged the church's reputation, particularly among young members, and led many to question the church's priorities. The campaign exposed the church's willingness to impose its religious views through political action.
