A Prop 8 challenge for swankers - Page 49

BarTopDancer · 11-05-2008, 03:45 PM

I was talking to my co-worker who voted yes, and I started crying and he felt properly bad for participating in this and encouraging his children to take part and he realized he is not promoting tolerance, but intolerance.

It took putting a face to the pain, to who was hurt by this (hurting because your friends were just denied something by the majority of the state) for him to realize he messed up. I hope others come around - not in the backhanded way from the article above, but really come around.

Now that California voters have outlawed same-sex marriage, an LDS Church leader called Wednesday for members to heal any rifts caused by the emotional campaign by treating each other with "civility, with respect and with love."

What utter horsesh!t. I'd like to heal their rift with my fist, frankly.

I'm now of the opinion that the LDS Church is a horrible institution, not from some kind of misguided anti-religious irrational hysteria, but by its actions in the past few weeks. They have gone far beyond redemption.

TeeHee, just heard a cool story from a friend of mine. Her 17-year-old straight boy son was driving along, came upon a bunch of YesHead protesters and shouted out to them, "I Love Sucking Dick!!"

Hahahahahahah!

Are we carrying signs tonight?

innerSpaceman · 11-05-2008, 04:00 PM

I want to. But ... I don't know anyplace to stop and get posterboard between here and WeHo (though if I go straight from work - - no pun intended -- I'll get there too early).

Isn't there a place right around our work? Like an Aaron Bros or something? I haven't taken a lunch yet, should I meet you there?

All others who are going, shall we have a meet plan or just rely on cell phones?

Need directions too, please

Thanks for the clarification.

I wish I could be there to lend a hand with the protest.

I will be there with you in spirit, my bretheren.

To all my straight friends who voted no on H8:
Let me be absolutely clear, since this may have only been hinted at in my previous rants. I unequivocally love and thank you for supporting us same-sex-loving folks. You did not have to take a stand on this issue but you did. I know I speak for my G&L brothers & sisters when I tell you our appreciation knows no bounds.

To all those who will be attending the anti-H8 rally this evening:
More power to you! I'm glad you feel energized to get out and protest the passing of this ridiculous proposition. If you wish to march, yell, honk your horn, or any other non-violent form of protesting, you have my blessing. I have my own reasons for not attending, but you should absolutely do what you feel you need to do.
