A Prop 8 challenge for swankers

[katiesue]

Oh almost forgot - creepy bumper stickers yesterday. This car had like 5 of them plastered all over it. There were two creepy kid faces, a boy and a girl, the sticker said "Pleeeaaaseee give us a Mommy and a Daddy".

The kids were creepy looking and it made no sense anyway. There are tons of single parent families, for whatever reason, are you going make them all marry someone of the opposite sex?

I'm picking up a No on 8 sign from my client. I live close to the local polling place. Better late than never.

Another client left me a note that said "Please take down the Obama sign in our window after he wins the election".

There is an effort to reach out on election day, but which requires attending training tonight. If anyone wants to participate, pm me and I'll forward the info.

I think I'm going to a gaybar with my friend tomorrow night. I'm a little scared about being there if 8 passes. Though I would hope they would know I'm not the moron who voted yes.

You would think...

They know me there, but still.

Interestingly, ABC out here went with a story about Mormon moms with homosexual children. They're holding a vigil against Prop 8.

I haven't seen the story for myself, yet, but I'm sure it'll get more coverage as I heard a radio ad for Fox running a similar storyline. Doubtful it'll be on our NBC affiliate as it is essentially run by the church.

They've reached a whole new level of appalling behavior... the yes people just hired a skywriter to write:

"Save traditional marriage
Vote yes on prop 8"

OVER DISNEYLAND

Then they circled and started writing again.

The LA Times endorses NO on Prop 8:

Clever magicians practice the art of misdirection -- distracting the eyes of the audience to something attention-grabbing but irrelevant so that no one notices what the magician is really doing. Look over at that fuchsia scarf, up this sleeve, at anything besides the actual trick.

The campaign promoting Proposition 8, which proposes to amend the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriages, has masterfully misdirected its audience, California voters. Look at the first-graders in San Francisco, attending their lesbian teacher's wedding! Look at Catholic Charities, halting its adoption services in Massachusetts, where same-sex marriage is legal! Look at the church that lost its tax exemption over gay marriage! Look at anything except what Proposition 8 is actually about: a group of people who are trying to impose on the state their belief that homosexuality is immoral and that gays and lesbians are not entitled to be treated equally under the law.

It's a good write up that highlights the lies the Yes camp has been spewing.

Here's an example of what caused massive disruption and upset for most guests and CMs around me:



I already can't stand the "Yes on 8" bigots. But, today, they crossed the line to damn near pure hatred by me for bringing their ****ing hatred to the skies over Disneyland. I don't think any political **** belongs in Disneyland, let alone political **** that spouts such horrible messages such as this lowly crap. It's a good thing I didn't see any sign-carriers on my drive home, because it would have taken everything to hold me back from driving over to them and ripping their ****ing heads off. (Yeah, it takes a lot to get me this pissed, and I'm pissed.)

However, from what I could see, most guests and CMs were very upset over it, so hopefully that will be a sign that this proposition won't pass.

My sister even brought up a good point - she works with severely handicapped children who are results of extreme abuse in "traditional" marriages who were conceived and not wanted or not planned. She deals with kids with smashed-in heads, etc., because the "traditional spouse" chose to repeatedly slam them against a wall or floor. She said that with gay marriages, there is no chance for an unwanted or unplanned child, and that she trusts gays more than "traditional" marriages because of that.
