The pro-homosexual lobby believes its own bizarre rhetoric. They are so convinced that there is a conspiracy, that they are now trying to prove that the National Organization for Marriage is a front for the Mormon Church. Their evidence. While the Catholics were donating to the organization long before Prop 8 was put on the ballot, the Mormon Church did not.
With that type of evidence you can accuse anyone of anything. Fortunantly so far these far fetched and unfounded accusations are primarily within the homosexual press, but with the low standards of journalism these days, soon we may see more accusations against the Church on these matters.
They do have another piece of evidence. That major Church leader, Matthew S. Holland, is on the board of the National Organization for Marriage. So is Robby Goerge? You don't know who Robby George is? You are not alone, he is not important enough to have an article on him in wikipedia. This has given me a good laugh, but I fear it will inspire more unseemly and baseless accusations against the Church.

Actually, there were many contributions made to NOM by members of the LDS church long before Prop 8 was put on the ballot. This is easily verified by checking the donor lists for NOM that are available on the Cali SoS site. It's also easily verified that these funds paid for the petition drive that successfully got Prop 8 on the ballot.
Of course, LDS members had every right to donate, but that they did is a matter of public record (some to the tune of $50,000), not dispute.
That Profs. George and Holland have worked closely together during their professional careers is also beyond dispute.
That said, I'm not sure how these facts constitute a "conspiracy" ... considering that such activities and coordination are entirely legal.
You are right there is no conspiracy here. The claim of the anti-8 people is that the Church is secretly syphoning money into NOM without telling anyone.
There are many problems with this notion, but the claim that BYU professors being on a board makes it an extension of the Church is so ludicrous that it explains why in the articles people avoided explaining what position Matthew S. Holland actually held.
