Leftist Priorities

Does anyone else find it interesting when the Left has to decide between two of their favorite issues? Since Prop. 8 crushed the gay-rights movement's hope to establish legal and moral equivalency between normal and gay marriage, the Left has gone bezerk against anyone associated to their defeat. For whatever reason Mormons have been hard hit, though as others have pointed out neither Catholics (whose far greater numbers make them far more "responsible") nor Muslims (whose religion opposes far more than just gay marriage) have been targeted.
I always find it revealing when political ideologies have to prioritize their pet issues as they conflict. Just what will the Left do when Islam has the kind of pull here as it has in Europe, where gays are not a ballot box away from complete acceptance? Or better yet, when larger numbers of illegal aliens (read Catholic Hispanics, a "minority group") establish large public nativity scenes? It was particularly revealing to see some crazies even go so far as to vent their frustrations racially against blacks, who came out in large numbers to oppose gay marriage. Who would have thought race was subordinate to gay rights, and what does that say about the core of Leftist philosophy?
