Gay Protest - Fresno Save Mart Center - Action News

VIDEO BY CHANNEL 30 ACTION NEWS
"I'd take him to a lake and drown him..." the man answered, turning his head away from us mid-sentence, but not without us hearing his every word. We'd asked what he might do if he had a son who was born gay. His response was only one of such replies we ended up hearing that night.

We were at the Save Mart Center, a small group of us, on Saturday, February 28th, to stand with Jay Matthew of EraseTheH8.com to stage a protest against the $2,500 donation by Steve Cleveland, coach of the FSU basketball team, to the YES ON 8 campaign, the proposition responsible for stripping thousands of Californians of the equal rights they'd been granted by the California Supreme Court in 2008.

Cleveland can use his salary as he pleases, so long as it is legal. It is irrelevant if a state institution signs his paycheck. BY THE WAY let it be known that Fresno State Basketball, like most other collegiate athletic programs, are funded only partially by the university. The rest is from the athletic conference, TV/Advertising, ticket sales etc. So the gentleman around 1:10 needs to educate himself before he uses the phrase "our money", because it is not necessarily taxpayer money being used

MY God when will people realize RELIGION NEEDS TO STAY AWAY FROM THE GOVERNMENT SO THERE IS NO REASON GAYS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO MARRY. Besides I checked the bible. All it says is that and I quote "A man cannot lay with a man like he would a women" nothing about marriage it just says no gay sex.

I don't know why gays live in Fresno.. a very unfriendly homophobic city, the mayor is "Bubba" the musclbound cop from the 80's crime drama "In The Heat of The Night" need I say more?
