Prop 8 and ALL the negativity associated with gay rights,makes me sick.
We need equality and to NOT allow votes to keep us at a second class status!
NOBODY should have the right to vote on somebody else’s rights or freedoms!

Well Bonnie, if this is your “new dawn” and it has been preceded only by one insult after another at the GLBT community – you can keep your “new dawn”. An untrue friend is worse than an enemy.

The beginning of a new dawn is upon us as President Obama has taken office…

Keep a smile on your face and love in your heart!

I think that any couple that would have their marriage annulled by the prop 8 vote should receive just compensation including paid and suffering and I mean a substantial amount awarded by the court.

I would think it more funny if we as gay people got all weddings at Mormon wards (churches) null and voided- and see how they like that.
I think when the shoe is on the other foot, they might get a clue what they did was wrong. Lets put it this way, I think those who put money for hate had their business boycotted it sure woke them up in a hurry and Now they don’t like it. The Mormon Church and their people should take responsibility for their actions; Instead of being a bunch of cowards.

This article, and all media reports, are wrong. The yes on 8 campaign did not begin collecting signatures after the ruling came donw. They were collecting signatures before the ruling came in. They were collecting signatures to prevent same sex marriage from happening. So in reality after the ruling came down the signatures they were collecting were invalid because you can’t prevent something that has already happened.

Don’t forget there are over 4,557 churches in the California Council of Churches. Our church, where we got married, is one of them. My minister says there is a powerful backlash growing among the liberal and moderate religious organizations, and I think we are seeing it in things like Rev. Sharpton’s comments for the Affiliation of Affirming Faith Based Organizations.

This is an honest question, not meant to be snarky:

How many of these individuals and groups spoke up BEFORE Prop Hate was passed?

I think an initiative to declare the Mormon religion invalid could succeed in a lot of states. I would certainly like to see an attempt, if only to see the outrage that accompanies it!
