A Prop 8 challenge for swankers

[katiesue]

I have two mormon churchs within eyesight and a third less than 4 miles from here (and on my way to work). I'm totally surrounded. I'd say easily every 5th car has a Yes sticker on it.

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

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.

Attorney General Jerry Brown has stated that in his opinion the measure does not invalidate marriages performed when they were legal. The difference between this and the '04 marriages authorized by Mayor Newsom is that they were declared to have never been legal, while these are definitely legal right now.

Hmmm, there is the big Mormon Temple at Overland and Santa Monica.

Totally off topic but Madzers daycare was near there when we lived in LA. And I'd show her the SunAmerica Building where I worked. So every time she saw the Mormon Temple she'd tell me that one day that would be were she worked.

Does the city own the lawn (the side by the street) outside these buildings?

[innerSpaceman]

I'm pretty sure that huge lawn is sovereign Mormon Territory.

But I'm not quite clear about the sidewalk out in front of the lawn.







Still ... demonstrating to drivers along Santa Monica Boulevard on the West Side of L.A. would be like Preaching to the (Mormon Tabernacle) Choir.

I saw a few No people on street corners in LB this weekend, but no Yes people out and about. Apparently, they were all in Orange County - lining up on PCH every few blocks all the way from Brookhurst to Sunset Beach.

Maybe we should have our own stand-in there.

And, after NOT rear ending a car with a bumper sticker that says "Yes On 8 - Protect the Family" I've decided I need a bumper sticker that says "No on 8 - Protect Families"

There was a large group of No on 8 out at PCH and Main Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It does seem that a lot of the Yes on 8 people mobilized down into OC. The further south and inland you go the more there are. It's the demographic.

The signs on my car say "Please don't take away the rights of my friends". I'm finding that people are more receptive to the fact that rights are being taken away then claims of protecting or not protecting families.

Wanna join up & do some happy hour demonstrating? You said those folks you stood with yesterday will be out again, right?
