Wow, really? Mormons like the persecution they get? If that's how you rationalize unwarranted critisicm of someone else's belief, then you really ought to whether anyone "likes" to be persecuted for beliefs they hold dear. I'm pretty sure most don't. Also, Mormons aren't homophobic; they don't resent or fear a person with homosexual preferences. We believe that people should abstain from sex before marriage and that marriage should be between man and woman. There's no hatred aimed at anyone...
