Yes on Prop 8 Rally Interviews

I was very inspired by the videos of the crowds at the Palin Rallies. I thought I would go to a pro Prop 8 rally (with camera) to see if I could capture some golden hateful nuggets of sound bite. I didn't want to appear confrontational, so I looked in my closet for something that would look semi-conservative Christian. I didn't pick out my "I heart Rachel Maddow" t-shirt. Anyway, I have to say, at first, I was a bit disappointed. Most of the folks seemed polite, thoughtful, and not at all inbred. They sincerely believed that somehow gay marriage was going to destroy the family... and teach the wearing of ass-less chaps on a gay pride float to 1st graders. They all said they had gay friends -- a la Sarah Palin. They all "love the sinner." And to be honest, I believe them. They were not horrible people. In fact, they were very sweet. And that's what makes them a little scarier. - Jill Sobule

prop 8 is just so fucking dumb. It makes me sick to my stomach to know how idiotic, rude, and discriminating people can be. Sometimes i cry because it is so depressing. Honestly, i hope that little boy is gay because maybe it will show them how stupid they are.

Omg, that couple at the end!!..."I love my children, I love my pets, I love a lot of things...you can love without marriage"....YOU FORGOT TO MENTION YOUR WIFE!!!...i wish i coulda asked him why her married her if it wasn't so important...and don't even get me started on his views on bisexuality being more common than homosexuality!!

Shaving is wrong (Leviticus 19:27) Gossip is wrong (Lev. 19:16) Football on Sat. is punishable by death (exodus 20:8) Eating pork is a sin (Lev. 11.7) Cotton and Polyester blends are a sin (Lev. 19.19) Hanging out with women on their periods is punishable by death (Lev 15.19)

I am sure those people break these sins and don't care so why do they care so much about Gays being a sin?

Sadly, this video proves the shocking but complete idiocy of the average anti-gay zealot.

[Daiblix]

[BrownHawk35]

This makes me sick! Those people are bigots!!! We should be allowed to run around naked in public and throw feces at each other like monkeys!!! Shouldn't that be a "civil right" too?
