Response to Maine's first anti-equality ad

Maine's "yes on 1" campaign claims that gays are relying on special interests to pass equality. The hypocrisy of these claims could not be more blatant!

@bananabread119 I think the song is called Soap On A Rope or Don't Drop the Soap if you are showering with gays!

@victimofcheese I couldn't be more proud of you and the voters of Maine. I am from out of state and I will stand with Maine and all other people who believe in GOD and fight the gay perverts that are trying to FORCE their beliefs upon the rest of the world. Jan 2012 in CA elementary aged school children 4 years old to high school aged are being taught about homosexual, bisexual and transgendered history and only good stuff is allowed to be taught. This is the work of OBAMA and all democraps!

Hilarious video. Which campaign spent more on advertising and had more funding? Now which campaign had more OUT OF STATE funding? Gee, what a coincidence! Couldn't be prouder of my state and its voters!!

What was that song at the end?

don't know why heterosexuals are still defending an institution that has not worked over 50 percent of the time for centuries

Portugal's Prime Minister, Jose Socrates, has announced that the first thing on his agenda for the new government will be marriage equality. Portugal will become the ninth nation to legalize same sex marriage! Reason to celebrate! Google: Portugal ready to legalize gay marriage

Do you know not a single newspaper in CA (except maybe the Catholic Times, or Mormon Gazette) supported Prop 8? They couldn't even get a public official to speak out in favor of it, for fear of being branded a bigot. That's actually a GOOD thing, and is a sign that their support is really only among the older voters, and those who live in the sticks and have no contact with gay people. Unfortunately, the rural voters are still the majority in both ME and CA, believe it or not...

[lisztnut]

Yes, it IS infuriating. There's an interesting LA Times article about how the Prop 8 people used the "diversion" technique to sway voters. It was NEVER about schools, or even religion, but those against gay marriage made it into that. If people had just voted on gay marriage without the other stuff thrown in, who knows how the vote have gone? Google this article:

I couldn't agree with you more. Religion has created far more pain and suffering than good. It has discriminated against women, and other minorities throughout history. To say nothing of the blood spilled in "Jesus' or "Allah's" name. It disgusting. It's been proven that Atheists commit less crime, and are less violent than religious folks. All of the recent wars can be traced directly back to one source- RELIGION.

Did you hear that the reason WHY NOM won out in CA. and ME. was because the hired a PR firm, and used focus groups, to learn that by re-defining the issue they could elicit opposition based not on "civil rights", but upon "individual rights" as opposed to a tyrannical state government, instead. Oh, and the "Gay" + "education system" thing was just the coup de gras. How infuriating!
