- 2010 August 10, Johann Hari, “The Slow, Whining Death of British Christianity”, in HuffPost[1]:
- If we started allowing religious people to break basic anti-discrimination laws, where would we stop? Until 1975, the Mormon Church said black people didn't have souls. […] Would we let a Mormon registrar refuse to marry black people? Would it be "Mormonophobia" to object?
- 2012 July 11, Tony Plakas, “Mitt's Mormon marriage march”, in Sun-Sentinel[2]:
- The Mormon church's past anti-gay positions and its role in financing Proposition 8 – California's 2008 ban on same-sex marriage – may have been the first dominoes to fall around the faithful, but vetting Mitt Romney as a presidential candidate links the straightforward similarities between Mormonophobia and homophobia.
