Help a Queer, Harass a Mormon!

So I've donated to the LA Gay & Lesbian Center to help repeal Prop 8. Here's the text of the postcard that will be sent to President Thomas Monson of the Mormon church on my behalf:
"Dear President Monson:
A donation has been made in your name by [name] to “invalidateprop8.org” to overturn California's Proposition 8 and restore fundamental civil rights to all citizens of California. The money will be donated to legal organizations fighting the case and to support grass-roots activities in support of full marriage equality. Although we decry the reprehensible role the Church of Latter Day Saints leadership played in denying all Californians equal rights under the law, we are pleased a donation has been made on your behalf in the effort to overturn the discrimination your church members helped enshrine in the California Constitution. Given that throughout its history the Mormon Church has been subjected to bigotry, we hope you appreciate the donation in your name to fight religious bigotry here in California."
