ISM- that's a good way to handle it. We can all disagree, but it's definitely progress to handle that disagreement with respect and cordiality. The biggest problem I have with politics today is the vilification of the other side simply because they're "the other side".

Two wrongs don't make a right.
I'm quickly losing respect for anyone who is voting Yes because the church told them so. I actually gained respect for my co-worker because he has his own thoughts on the issue. When one can have a discussion and back up their choices, it's one thing. When all they can do is spout lies and propaganda it's another. And it may be more than one religion, but LDS has funded something like 77% of the Yes on 8 campaign. They are the church I'm holding responsible for this campaign of hatred. |
ISM, what principled case did your Mormon friends make other than telling you to your face that your lifestyle was immoral? If there is such a case to be made, I haven't heard the Prop. 8 folks make it.

Mark and Brian had a funny sketch I heard this morning that was a replay from yesterday... a spoof of the Yes on 8 ads... not sure if you can hear it but it really made fun of them. If you vote no on 8, you'll turn gay, so will your kids, even your dog will be gay, type of thing.

My friend Stephanie wrote something amazing on her Facebook page about losing her father this past weekend and one of the difficulties her father's partner faced after Steph's dad's death.
It's much too long to post here. But I did re-post it on my Facebook page for people to read. It's a powerful piece. Check it out. |
So this morning on my way to work I looked at the corner where that stupid Yes sign is. The sign was still there, but also on the corner, in a more prominent position, was a No sign :)
