prop 8 protest

It really does feel great to be involved in something like that. Good for you for going!

 

Yeah they have a lot of videos on YouTube about it.

My parents live in Sacramento. When I first came out to them, 17 years ago, they freaked out, kicked me out of the family, it was awful. A lot has changed since then. We have a great relationship now, and they have been inviting my partner to family functions for years. When I asked my Mom yesterday how she was going to vote, she said "how can you even ask, of course we voted NO on Prop 8". People can change.

"Religion is for people who are afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for people who have been there." I consider myself a spiritual person, and the God of my understanding is a God that loves me and wants me to be happy. Some day, God willing, I'm going to find a wonderful woman to settle down with and marry. I hope it's legal to do so when that day comes.

 

thats awesome!!!

4 of my friend started a counter protest yesterday. and it grew, and kept going after they left after 4 hours in the rain.

i want to do a rally! i think im just going to start one with my friends. just after school monday, start a protest. its what us liberals do.

the middle finger is my thing. call me a dyke and i call you an anti-american bigot and give you the finger. or fingers if i can.

 

Great videos. I wish I lived in Cali, but if I had a rally here, people would be like WTF?

 

Awesome videos! I got teary!

 

I could never move to Cali just for the fun of it, but I wish I could drop in for a day to protest Prop 8.

 

Great for you! and those videos are great as well, I just wish I wasn't all the way on the opposite end of the country so I could help

 

That was really cool and looked fun. :icon_mrgr

Hopefully it doesn't pass on Tuesday.

 

Wow at that first video...

If my school did that, we'd have about 3 people.

 

my school had a bake sale and also kind of an info thing on prop 8.
kinda surprised how some people came up to us and said Yes on prop 8 when we clearly were against it.
wish there are more rallies around here.

 

I wish i could go to a rally or something but i did see a protest thingy once and it was awesome

 

'Archer, you are AWESOME! I live in Elk Grove, and my son and I drove through many intersections where people were gathered, and honked and waved to all the "NO" groups. Hey, I probably honked at YOU! That's CRAZY!!

My boyfriend, who's still at home, just called to tell me the "yes" peeps are already out and at it in force this morning. Too bad I have to work!!

Funny note regarding all this: my BF and I took my son to San Francisco yesterday to go shopping and to show him the Castro (he was curious about it). While we were there, he noticed how there were NO Yes on 8 signs ANYWHERE we went. And while we were walking on Castro Street, he said "Dad, everyone here seems so happy. This seems like a good, fun place. I can't find any reason for so many people to hate a bunch of guys who just happen to love each other."

Well put! And considering how much has been thrown at him in such a short amount of time, with his dad coming out and all, he seems pretty level-headed and smart about it all, especially the Prop 8 issue.

 

Since I don't live in California I can't vote no on 8 but one of my good friends lives there and she's voting no on 8.

 

Ahhh...........what a GREAT kid! How old is he? Kids understand love so much better than adults.

By the way, the No on Prop 8 campaign needs a ton of volunteers right now. If you Californians have any free time, call them up to see what you can do. Even if you are not old enough to vote, there is still things you can do.

 

Thanks Becky! My son is 14, and he's been extremely supportive of me and seems to be interested in the issues confronting the gay community.

AND YES, all the CA people, do whatever you can in the next 15 hours or so, and hey, even tomorrow, the polls are open all day! It will be SO awesome if someone posts a success story about changing someone's mind on Prop 8 at the last minute tomorrow!!!

 

that's awesome for you for going ^_^

I'm proud XD

 

I was on YouTube and found this video:
