If they are not ashamed of their position and letting people know how they feel then why are they complaining that people know what they did. After all, if it fosters action on the part of gay people to get their point of view across, then why do the proponents of Proposition 8 dislike the publicity. Remember we had state sponsored segration with separated but equal laws on the books of many states until the courts struck it down. That was not done by popular vote or we would still have separate but equal laws everywhere. Why should the civil rights of gay citizens be subject to popular vote. Your civil rights are never popular if you are not in the majority.

John,

All I can say is you need a good therapist. The crazy Mormons have injected themselved into an issue that has no bearing on their happiness in life. I would really like to ask one of the bigoted Mormon donors: so in the last 6 months since same gender marriage has been legal in California, how have you been so harmed? Answer, they have not been harmed and yet they still want to take away my fundamental right to marry.

If Prop 8 passes, I say we start a new initiative banning Mormons from civil marriage in California…not really, but something those bigoted Mormons should really think about for trying to take away one of my fundamental rights.

its a bit rich to be talking about smear-attacks when smearing is EXACTLY what anti-gay people do nearly every time they open their mouthes on the subject of being gay. Its not so nice when the shoe is on the other foot is it?

merits of proposition 8? what possible merits could there be john? All it will do is enshrine discrimiation into that state’s constitution, and quite probably affect heterosexual relationships too. Theres no merits to it at all.

After seeing the tactics being employed by those opposed to Prop 8 (see http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/20/01429/971) I have decided to contribute to and actively work for the passage of Prop 8. Why is it that the religious affiliation of donors is only sought for those that are Mormon and not also Catholics (all Catholic Bishops have stated their support for Prop or Jews (Orthodox Rabbis support Prop 8} or Evangelicals (about all Evangelical churches support Prop 8)? Instead of focusing on the merits of the Proposition itself, opponents have chosen to attack a select group of supporters based on religious bigotry and are trying to silence them by mounting smear attacks on individuals.

Gay intimidation and intolerance are always good ways to get support for SSM from the general public. Yeah, sign me up!

What makes this somewhat ironic is that the “political bullying” the husband complained about has been a popular tactic used by conservatives for years. If a gay man worked for a particular company, they would complain to the company and pressure to have the man fired for nothing more than being gay and working there.

Yet now, when the shoe’s on the other foot, they’re whining that it’s so unfair.

Uh, right.

Insofar as knowing who’s giving Prop 8 the money, I have no issue with anyone publishing the list. If anything, we need more transparency like this.

Another right wing nutcase douche bag. He’s probably a closeted self loathing queer… Probably frequents the bath houses, bookstores, interent hook up sites.. He’s probably having sex with other married men and still thinks he’s straight. Another pathetic a**hole..

Well, considering that Mormons are a bunch of nutjobs to begin with – this is hardly surprising. Their creepy mythologies don’t hold up well 2000 years after the fact. These people are truly, truly sad. I’m glad that their names are being published and I hope that intelligent and fair minded people will see them for who they really are. Surem, they are “proud” to support Propositon 8, because they’ve bell all but brainwashed into their silly and I might add, very self-servingm, beliefs – I just hope that the good people of CA can see through this nonsense and do what it right for ALL the people of CA.
