If the worst blowback the church gets is from some protestors acting peacefully outside the temple grounds, the church should be relieved. I would imagine at some point the church becomes the focus of intense media scrutiny and criticism for their stance and strong advocacy. I assume people will complain about that too, if and when it happens.

??? Did you read my post? Do you live in California? I think the scrutiny the LDS church has received in the Bay Area media has been quite vigorous (and frequently inaccurate). You are quite eager to attack things that no one said.
