Spoilers ahead
As California’s anti-gay marriage Proposition 8 struggled in the polls, Mormon Prophet Thomas S. Monson issued a provocative call from Salt Lake City, commanding millions of Mormons worldwide to take action. This urgent order, infused with the secret code language from the highly confidential Mormon temple ceremony, incited Mormons both inside and outside California to do everything within their power to ensure the passage of Proposition 8. Within a matter of days, hundreds of thousands of Mormons across the United States funneled a staggering thirty million dollars into California, all aimed at securing the passage of this anti-gay marriage measure.
