A federal appeals court rules against the Prop 8 supporting bigots of California
A little kick in the teeth of the bigots behind the evil Prop 8...
A federal appeals court ruled against California's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage Tuesday, arguing the ban unconstitutionally singles out gays and lesbians for discrimination.
In a split decision, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found the state's Proposition 8 "works a meaningful harm to gays and lesbians" by denying their right to civil marriage in violation of the 14th Amendment.
If you think voting on the civil rights of your fellow citizens is aok, you are one sick fuck.

California Attorney General Kamala Harris: Hero of the Day
"Also, maintaining a position that is the right position in saying we will not defend Proposition 8 because it is simply unconstitutional"
Take that bigots.

Bigot Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage speaks his mind
Fear and illogic is all they have left, in fact it's all they've ever had.
In the imaginary Constitution in Judge Walker’s head, gay marriage is a constitutional right. In the real Constitution drafted by the Founding Fathers, we have a core civil right to participate in democracy to demand that our government respect marriage. We are going to fight for that right and we are going to win.
Q: Some would ask (and I’m sure they do): Isn’t that an insult to Martin Luther King Jr.? Isn’t the movement for same-sex marriage all about equality? And equality isn’t the side you’re on?
A: On the contrary, as Bishop Harry Jackson said in his statement in response to Judge Walker’s ruling, what is insulting is to imagine that Christians and other marriage supporters are like racists. People who lived through the real Jim Crow can tell you that the comparison between Prop 8 and racial bigotry is grotesquely inappropriate. You know what real equality is? One man with one woman, that’s equality.
You're not racists silly, you're bigots. Get it straight.
I thought getting it straight was your forté.

Disgusting homophobe Brian Brown whines on about "sacrifice"
Anti gay bigot Brian Brown pens this vile tirade:
lawyers like Ted Olson insist that our views of marriage are bigoted, hateful, irrational [truth hurts don't it babe?]. California’s Prop 8 is, for me, deeply personal. I am one of the people who devoted time, treasure, and sacrifice to make Prop 8 come true.
Oh you poor baby. I didn't realize taking away the rights of your fellow citizens was so personal.
And then there's this gem...
And so we fought, with decency and civility, in love, for the future of marriage in our country.
The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Bullshit.
Having lost at the ballot box, gay-marriage advocates are now stepping forward and asking the courts to nullify our victory, to invalidate our sacrifice.
And maybe, just maybe, get you to STFU.

Tonight on BigotTV
Oh I love that show!
So Prop H8 finally goes to federal trial this month. And there was the discussion of whether or not to allow the trial to be televised...
...Of course, there was no question about it not being televised, until the pro-H8 bigots spoke up and asked for cameras to be barred. Their excuse? They fear a backlash against their bigotry from same-sex marriage supporters. Apparently we were so mean to them after the election they're scared to testify if they have to do it publicly. What they really mean is, they don't want their bigotry exposed for what it really is.
But what got me was, they're afraid of us. Let me say that again. Anti-gay bigots, people who actively strive to take away the rights of hundreds of thousands of people (millions if you're counting nationally, not just here) and have us legally designated as second-class citizens in a variety of ways, people who compare gays to pedophiles and donkey-fuckers, whose rhetoric incites hate and violence against our communities here and the world over...THEY'RE afraid of US? Are you fucking kidding me?

Bigots wish to remain under the rocks from whence they came
Come on now, if God is really on your side then wear your bigotry with pride! Let us all know you think taking away rights is the right thing to do.
The fierce fight over same-sex marriage in California and elsewhere is creating pressure to recognize a new free-speech right that could keep petition signatures secret.
The Supreme Court voted last week to block release of the names of more than 138,000 people in Washington state who signed petitions seeking to repeal a same-sex domestic partner law in a ballot scheduled for Nov. 3.
The Supreme Court's intervention set off a broad debate among election-law experts and 1st Amendment scholars over what is private and what is public when it comes to politics.
Is signing a petition and delivering it to the government a public act, like voting on a bill in the legislature or contributing money to a campaign? Or is it more like casting a secret ballot at the polling place?

Ted Olson goes to court on behalf of gay marriage
Former Bush administration solicitor general Theodore Olson is part of a team that has filed suit in federal court in California seeking to overturn Proposition 8 and re-establish the right of same-sex couples to marry.
The suit argues that the state's marriage ban, upheld Tuesday by the California Supreme Court, violates the federal constitutional right for same-sex couples to marry. The complaint was filed Friday, and Olson and co-counsel David Boies -- who argued against Olson in the Bush v. Gore case -- will hold a news conference in Los Angeles Wednesday to explain the case. The conference will feature the two same-sex couples on whose behalf Olson filed suit.
Says Andrew Sullivan:" I'm a little discombobulated by finding myself now to the right of Olson on marriage equality."
Don't worry Andrew, changing your position depending on which way the wind blows has never been a big problem for you, has it?

Cheap Prop 8 donations
The site eightmaps.com exposes a shocking lack of community spirit by some Prop 8 supporters and their donations.
Observe.
Mr. William Burns and Mr. Clark Sandberg of beautiful Ranch Palos Verdes could only cough up 40$ and 15$ between them. Pathetic. Don't you realize your neighbours were doing much, much more!
Like Mrs. Eva Ruiz with $24,000, or Mrs. Oi Lin Chen at $25,000!
We can't suppress minority rights with efforts like that! Gentlemen, bow your heads in shame.

Californian Bigots wish to remain anonymous
Supporters of the November ballot measure that banned gay marriages in California have filed a lawsuit seeking to block their campaign finance records from public view, saying the reports have led to harassment of donors.
"No one should have to worry about getting a death threat because of the way he or she votes," said James Bopp Jr., an attorney representing two groups that supported Proposition 8, Protect Marriage.com and the National Organization for Marriage California.
"This lawsuit will protect the right of all people to help support causes they agree with, without having to worry about harassment or threats."
They didn't seem to mind exposing opponents of Prop 8 before the election...

CNN allows bigot to defend Rick Warren
More ugliness from the so called "defenders of marriage"...of course ignoring the fact California votes took rights away, which seems to be ok with this guy.
Hate is hate, and Mr Jordan Lorence isn't fooling me. It's just another case of the bully blaming the victim for actually disliking the bullying...
Proponents of redefining marriage couldn't wait for the new president to be sworn in before demanding that he erase from the inauguration ceremony a prominent American who disagrees with them.
The target of their rhetorical bombardment is Rick Warren, the popular Christian pastor from Southern California.
President-elect Barack Obama has asked Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration. Not so fast, cries Kathryn Kolbert, head of People for the American Way, an organization that claims to advance equality and freedom of speech and religion (but not for Rick Warren and those who agree with his marriage views) in a piece published on CNN.com.
Warren's grave sin? Along with 52 percent of California voters, he supported California's Proposition 8, which affirmed the definition of marriage as between one man and one woman. What a radical!
Of course, the writer ignores the other loving statements made by Mr. Warren....and the thrusting of religion to politics...

Prop 8 proponents strike again
These people are in the running for the most spiteful people on Earth:
Sponsors of the California ballot measure that banned same-sex marriage are seeking to nullify thousands of marriages between gay and lesbian couples performed after the state Supreme Court ruled them constitutional.
The sponsors Friday filed responses to three anti-Proposition 8 lawsuits with the state Supreme Court. The briefs also defend Proposition 8 against opponents' legal challenges, including an argument that the amendment needed a constitutional convention to be added to the state's constitution.
"We are confident that the will of the voters and Proposition 8 will ultimately be upheld," said Andrew Pugno, General Counsel for ProtectMarriage.com and the Proposition 8 Legal Defense Fund.
