A Prop 8 challenge for swankers

Great minds think alike.

Have fun at your rally. If you get some sort of venting enjoyment out of it, that's fine. I will not be attending the futility.

Ya see, when somebody's imaginary friend tells them that fâggots aren't worth shït, there's really nothing intelligent, open-minded people can do (including protesting) to sway them. The only thing we can hope for is that these fücktards will eventually die off and people who can actually think will prevail.

Indeed we can't necessarily change the minds of the bigoted. But we have to stay in action to remind the intelligent, open-minded people (and particularly the young ones who are coming into their own - I came from a homophobic family, myself, once upon a time) how important this issue is.

I think I'll attend this one.

Oh, I was just like Yay, let's meet up and have fun at the Protest because, oh California is full of suckwads who think fags are less worthy of respect than the chickens they eat.

I think I will be there. But where the heck do you park?

I think it's more of a way to a) vent and b) try and get it out of your system to mentally move on and regroup for the next marriage battle (and there will be many many more, as long as people continue to believe that their magical sky fairy should control other people's lives, we need to be there to meet that battle).

It is not to change anyone's minds, but a way to process the crushing blow we have been dealt. I am having a very difficult time today comprehending how to deal with people, particularly Mormons and Christians. They are misguided bigots who are either too stupid to think for themselves or too chickensh!t to stand up to a church that they know is hurting people.

I do know that any respect that I had for them -- they can find their own path to God as long as it doesn't hurt me -- is obviously over. I just can't tell who the good people are and the bad people are just from walking down the street, y'know?

I'm gonna park at in front of my friend's Apartment just south of Melrose, just east of LaCienega ... only because I know how to get there and it was easy to find parking even for the WeHo Halloween Carnaval.

Want directions?

Not all Christians. Certainly, many. But not all. Look at the faith-based groups on this huge list; even the Catholic Democrats of California are on our side.
