Get all the scary stuff out of the way at once, I suppose.

Because they are so similar in concept.

TORRANCE -- Authorities say a Torrance man who used an anti-gay marriage "Yes on Prop. 8" sign to attack an openly gay man has been charged with a felony hate crime.
Joseph Storm, 23, got into a scuffle with a 22-year-old man wearing a "No on 8" button early Sunday in Torrance, according to Deputy District Attorney Janet Wilson.

Well, to be honest, if the gay dude really pulled the Yes on 8 sign out of someone's lawn and threw it in the street, he provoked some sort of reaction.

That's just not a cool thing to do, and we've discussed that very thing here in this thread. It's tempting, but wrong. The correct reaction is to put up a competing No on 8 sign, in the vicinity if possible.

I'm not saying he deserved to get bashed. But it's not like the guy came running at him with the sign just because he was gay, or was advocating for a different electoral outcome.

Again, that's IF the claims of the accussed are true. Admittedly a very BIG IF for a guy who reacts with violence ... about 200 times as WRONG as removing the lawn sign.

On my way home last night, there were Yes on 8 Protesters on all four corners of Lambert and St College. Because of how I was feeling (bad cold), I did not stop. I spent all last night and today regretting that decision. On the drive home tonight, I decided that despite having zero energy, etc., I was going to stop and have a discussion.

Alas, they were not there. However, I saw the sign on the church on the NE corner:

Protesters on the Corner
Are Not From This Church

It made my night

An interesting article about the limbo the same-sex couples who married in CA will be in if Prop 8 passes.

Quote:

Proposition 8 would amend the state Constitution to define marriage as only between a man and a woman, but the measure does not address what would happen to the estimated 16,000 same-sex couples who have tied the knot since gay marriage became legal in California on June 17.

Sorry, no can do. Any demonstrating I do up until the election will be in HB, but chances are, it won't be much (my teachers don't take demonstrating to save rights as an excuse to not turn in homework).

One woman lives in HB and will be closer to home. The other woman will be by the Laguna Hills mall, near In n Out. No idea what time though.

I think NoOn8.org has a sign up for demonstrating and working election day. I can't do any of the times. Stupid work.
