Proposition 8

I wasn't going to talk about this, mainly because I don't agree with either side on the issue of Gay Marriage. (I honestly don't have an opinion beyond legalization halves the sin involved) But you idiots who are out there disrupting church services and defacing churches need to understand one very important thing. You are shooting yourself in the foot.

First of all, I would like to point out that this is the SECOND time such an item has passed in California. That is right, Proposition 8 is the second such item to pass in California to Define marriage as a man and a woman. The People have spoken, whether we like their decision or not.

Instead of trying to convince people that they are wrong on this matter and that it is a matter of equal rights, they are rioting.

In Lansing, Michigan, a group of Gay Protesters, Bash Back Lansing, disrupted church services at Mount Hope Church. They threw condoms at the church goers, insulted them, scattered papers around, and shouted insults at the people. Outside, they hurled insults at those going into the church and those who left.

In San Francisco's Castro District, a group of about sixteen Christians who where holding a prayer service in public, had to be escorted out of the district by Police, after someone spread the claim that they where there to hold a counter-Protest against the No on 8 Campaign. The video on YouTube is disgusting, and the Poster was quoted as saying:

After just singing and worshiping God for a while, Roger decided that we should all hold hands in a circle and continue singing. So we did.

Someone (Actually a person who came up and hugged and kissed some of us who he knew from the past) convinced some people that we were there to protest against the no on 8 campaign.

Then some guy who was dressed up like one of the sisters (The sisters of perpetual indulgence is a group of men who dress up like nuns and call themselves the spiritual authority of the Castro.) took a curtain-type thing (Which I think they use to curse people) and wrapped it around us.

Then a crowd started gathering. We began to sing “Amazing Grace”, and basically sang that song the whole night. (At some points we also sang “Nothing but the Blood of Jesus” and “Oh the Blood of Jesus”.) At first, they just shouted at us, using crude, rude, and foul language and calling us names like “haters” and “bigots”. Since it was a long night, I can’t even begin to remember all of the things that were shouted and/or chanted at us. Then, they started throwing hot coffee, soda and alcohol on us and spitting (and maybe even peeing) on us. Then, a group of guys surrounded us with whistles, and blasted them inches away from our ears continually. Then, they started getting violent and started shoving us. At one point a man tried to steal one of our Bibles. Chrisdene noticed, so she walked up to him and said “Hey, that’s not yours, can you please give it back?”. He responded by hitting her on the head with the Bible, shoving her to the ground, and kicking her. I called the cops, and when they got there, they pulled her out of the circle and asked her if she wanted to press charges. She said “No, tell him I forgive him.”

Afterwards, she didn’t rejoin us in the circle, but she made friends with one of the people in the crowd, and really connected heart to heart. Roger got death threats. As the leader of our group, people looked him in the eyes and said “I am going to kill you.”, and they were serious. A cop heard one of them, and confronted him. (This part is kinda graphic, so you should skip the paragraph if you don’t want to be offended.) It wasn’t long before the violence turned to perversion. They were touching and grabbing me, and trying to shove things in my butt, and even trying to take off my pants - basically trying to molest me. I used one hand to hold my pants up, while I used the other arm to hold one of the girls. The guys huddled around all the girls, and protected them.

Yes, that is right, some of the "counter-counter-protesters" tried to commit rape against their opponents. They where threatened with DEATH by some protesters. Is this really the act of the "Tolerant"? And how did the targets of the "Tolerant Ones" respond? They turned the other cheek. Remember those of you who are Christians, He warned us that there would be those who hated us for our Love of Him.

Message to the guy in 1:58 who is telling the Christians to stay out. We have as much right to enter that area as you do. We have as much right to state our opinions on something as you do. The First Ammendment was designed to protect speech that the People DON'T like.

The El Coyote Mexican Cafe in Los Angeles has also been targeted. The manager donated $100 to the Yes on 8 campaign. In response, a gang of those who opposed Prop. 8 descended upon the place and drove the woman to tears. The gang would not let up until the employees of the store donated a combined $500 to the Opposition campaign. Those who dined in the resturant where verbally assaulted for daring to eat there. And the Manager's crime? She practiced her First Ammendment Rights.

In Sacramento, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, beeter known as Mormons from their second holy book, the Book of Mormon, had to hire security guards for their temple. This after hateful vandalism smeared across ten of their temples across the state. This after white powder was mailed to the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City.

Scott Eckern, a Mormon who worked as artistic director of the California Musical Theatre, was forced to step down because he dared to donate money to a political cause he agreed with.

On top of that, they have posted a Blacklist of people they are boycotting for daring to enact their first ammendment rights to Freedom of Association, Freedom of Religion, and Freedom of Speech.

On GayConservative.com, there is a great post about somethign that showed up on JoeMyGod.

I cannot believe what I’m reading today. If I could get to a camera tonight, I’d do that vidblog now, but since I can’t, I’ll save my true argument for tomorrow evening. In the meantime, the news now is that gay and lesbian citizens of California are practically rioting. In the wake of the passing of Proposition 8–the law that is to overturn the state supreme court’s ruling that gay marriage is legal–thousands have taken to the streets. But more than just protesting, they’re calling for actual violence.

I’ve gotten into a discussion about it on Michelle Malkin’s site, and have even gotten in a few hits with JoeMyGod himself for his and his readers’ outright bumbling stupidity. I might be able to understand being upset about it, but seriously–you idiots are trying to preach against hate and you’re calling for gays and lesbians to “burn their f—ing churches to the ground and tax the charred timbers”? You must be joking!

This is unreal. Un-be-friggin’-LIEVABLE. I cannot believe I’m reading comments from gay and lesbian people saying things like, “I’m a radical on a mission to make them pay for all they’ve done.” For WHAT, exactly? Have they put us in camps? Tried exterminating us? As I recall, they haven’t put up much of a fight to overturn the US Supreme Court’s decision striking down all laws against sodomy; they’ve pretty well accepted that what we do with our lives is our business. So will someone please, PLEASE explain to me why one reader is saying “I could murder someone with my bare hands today,” and another is saying, “I warn [mormons and catholics] to watch their backs!”

Where the hell do you people get off behaving like lunatics because this thing wasn’t defeated? I’ll touch on your liberal fanaticism tomorrow, but I’d really like one of you idiots to explain what makes you right and them wrong! They didn’t vote to require us to go to “sexual re-orientation therapy,” but you’re acting as though we’ve all been told we’re about to be rounded up and sent to Auschwitz!

Right here, right now I want every one of you to shut the hell up. I refuse to look like a fool because you don’t know how to behave. I have friends who are Mormon, Catholic, Jewish, Baptist, you name it–very few have ever expressed real hate towards me, and the grand total of TWO who have aren’t real Christians, anyway. I have experienced more hate coming from you than from them. You are not going to win this battle by threatening violence, and if you actually carry it out, I will personally lead the charge to put your ass in prison for the rest of your life.

GROW THE HELL UP.

For the record, I will NEVER link to JoeMyGod. The man is a hatemonger, and I will not grant him the satisfaction of getting readers directly from a conservative website.

It strikes me as hypocritical. For eight years, we have heard nothing but "Selected not Elected." About George Bush from this crowd. And now, they are leaning on the Supreme Court of California to overrule the will of the People.

The People have spoken, and your attacks against the People will only harm your cause.
