John Ridley: Obama Wins. And So Does Fear, Hate and Prop 8 »
Posted By david_nwpa 1 year, 1 month ago in Political NewsThe cheers, the tears, the jubilation over the election of our 44th president. All of it deserved. But some of it overshadowed by the harsh, white light of reality that burned in the west. As Americans -- many of whom have never even had a black man for a boss -- elected a person of color president, a narrow but sharp margin of Californians stole the rights of her citizens. By supporting bailot proposition number 8 they refused gays the right to marry.

I am posting nearly every entry on Prop 8 I can find. So many people are now rising in support of gays and lesbians. We will need that allied support in the days and weeks to come if Prop 8 is to be defeated in the Courts. It should never have hit the voters because it had not first passed the legislature.

Whether in California, Florida, Arizona, or any other state which bans same sex marriage, we need to affirm that we will fight in California and throughout the United States until our lives and our relationships are accorded respect. We must make our presence known and remain a visible force for all. We will not be silenced, and we will not go away quietly. -

In New Orleans, transvestites and others of unusual sexual orientation have decked themselves out at Mardi Gras time in costumes looking like the Blessed Mother but with signs that said "Pizza ****." The Sacred Heart has been mocked as Jesus wearing the mask of a court jester (they called this "Da Goofy Guy" on his entrance into "the New Jerusalem." a.k.a., the French Quarter), and there were also gays dressed as scantily-clad nuns. Huge demonic faces made of paper maché smiled above placards shaped like tablets that said, "Steal, lie, covet." Women with a strange glint wore plastic cow utters and signs that said, "Blessed are the cheesemakers." In one celebration a long-haired man smiling foolishly to mock Jesus with a crown of thorns had his arm around a woman who had the distinct look of a witch.
Who is oppressing whom? Who is guilty of "hate crimes"? -
