Aww, the article doesn't even say what his sign said!

Regarding Clinton and Obama's anti-gay marriage stances...I really do think times are changing regarding gay rights and that in the midst of it there is going to be some leftover debris from an earlier age. The electorate that is coming of age isn't going to let this crap go on for much longer and it's just a matter of time.

If either of them were for prop 8 I'd be seriously pissed off. But they are not, and they're not sitting on the fence either. Even though they both have a poor past on the issue, they are both against the prop, and to me, that's progress.

Ask McCain or Palin about their stance, contrast, compare.

Hundreds of Mormon Moms Rally Against Prop. 8 in Salt Lake City
More than 600 Mormon moms, their gay sons and daughters, and allies rallied against Proposition 8 in Salt Lake City on Sunday -- a sharp contrast to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' effort to pass the California ballot measure.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the candlelight vigil was held in the city's Library Square and was organized by mothers disappointed in the church's muscular support of Prop. 8, which would eliminate the right of gay people to marry. The Mormon church has donated millions of dollars to the Yes on 8 campaign.
"This is what happens when people in California say mean things about our gay kids. Mothers come out of the closet," Millie Watts, one of the organizers, said at the event, according to the Tribune. Watts told the paper that she feels "disappointment and betrayal" at her church's involvement in Prop. 8.
Linda Barney, another mom who spoke at the rally, told the Tribune that her heart "reaches out to young Californians, teens who are not out of the closet who are alone...listening to hateful [rhetoric]," adding, "They need to hear from us. They need to know there are people with loving hearts."
The Salt Lake City event was one of several rallies that occurred on Sunday in support of, or in opposition to, Prop. 8. (The Advocate)

BTD & JWBear;

I haven't posted in a bit, been in a whirlwind of schtuff.

But, my sister, who I sent the email, to, well, I've lost her over other less important things before. But, at first she said the email that I sent her kept freezing the computer {it was her email, just forwarded back to her}. When she finally received it, she said I was wrong.

But, seriously, I have lost her before over other things, always, not going along with her. Or, making her happy.

Once, I sent her one of those happy emails about sisterly love/friendship and her response to me was 'I haven't felt that way in a long time'.

Funny, cause I know people who I see rarely, even if after years, and, it is always the same, we never dislike someone because we haven't been able to chat or hang out.

The damn yes signs, all over the main road. Isn't that illegal? It is public property. I don't think people should be allowed to put them out there.

I am maybe going to take my son to election central tomorrow night. I think that, as like some others here, I want to be with others when things come down.

I also donated again today. I think you can do it directly on noonprop8.com (and also view the new ad narrated by Samuel Jackson). These ads are all much better than the mamsy-pamsy crap that the No on 8 camp was putting out initially.

This purports to be a searchable database of everyone who has contributed for or against Prop 8, however I can't find my own name (three donations totalling $150) or my mom's (one, $100) either. It could be useful in determining which businesses to boycott for supporting it, but I am having trouble getting any useful results.

[Chernabog]

Yeah that database is odd as I don't appear for multiple donations (though I love how only 3 out of pages and pages of people in Valley Village donated for prop 8).

Bill Clinton just called and asked me to vote no on 8.

Watch the other videos by the people that did the one GC linked, they're all funny. And have the best. slogan. ever.

Here's another cute YouTube ad (by someone else):
