Time for some deep soul-searching for California's "Gay Rights" movement. Prop 8 passed, making it a fucking *law* who can and can't get married. It's not a religion. It's not about "hatin' str8". It's the kind of thing that has nothing to do with what Government's job is, and everything to do with what happens when Government becomes Big Brother/Nanny State and has to decide "what's best for you". It's legislation, acts of Humans and not of Gods or Nature.
And it's time for the Gay/Homosexual Rights Movement to own up to enabling the situation that allowed such an egregious abuse of power to occur. To them who are "surprised" that California is taking legal interest in what goes on in their bedrooms, I say to them: "What the hell did you expect?"
When you go around attacking the first and second amendment and banning/controlling them wherever possible, that eventually government goes after the rest of the "lifestyle" choices as well. When you go around promoting the idea that Government needs to "help" everyone, "support" them, and "keep them safe", you're telling them to control your lives. Which is great until your "life" is an inconvenience to the Smooth Orderly Running of The State.
The Homosexual Rights movement allowed itself to be hijacked to support marxist and extreme left wing candidacies, allowed itself to be promoted with ridiculous hedonistic parades and events, which did nothing at all to promote their movement in a positive light. The 'gays" flocked to support every democrat and socialist, got Hollywood swinging their way, fought down free speech by creating "hate speech" laws that could be activated based solely on whether someone was "offended" or not, joined into any anti-law enforcement or "anti-violence" (read: anti-gun ownership) rally and cause they could find. Any candidate who supported even larger grabs of power, increased gerrymandering of congressional districts, higher taxes, abuse of eminent domain-didn't matter at all as long as they were "pro gay".
Now, Prop 8 shows up and they're "surprised"? Try to turn it into a hate issue of "religion" (and only Christianity, since all other world religions are tolerant of homosexuality)? Prop 8 is not a religious edict. It's government. The same government they worked to empower, that no longer has a use for them. The free speech they worked to overturn is now their voice that is silenced. The guns they removed would have been the arms that allowed them to protect themselves from repression. Any support from "the people" ruined because no one wants to admit association to the Castro Street freak shows and the @ssless pants wearing leather clowns.
Now Government doesn't need them anymore. Government remembers how useful the GR movement was in toppling and suppressing their opposition, and cannot chance allowing that "weapon" to fall into the "wrong hands". Government needed a newer, stronger and more malleable weapon, and found it. It has a larger base among the Latino/Illegal/Raza population-which isn't a huge fan of "teh gay". They're meaner, more violent, easier to control and more likely to be surviving off the State and therefore owe the food in their bellies to Government.
The Homosexual Rights movement: you were the biggest Useful Idiots ever. You suppressed the Constitution to fit your narrow focus, and now you're under the bus with the rest of us. Gay marriage should never have been an issue,it should have been common sense, just another fact of life. It would have greatly reduced the culture of infidelity and created stability and reduced health care drain. But in your Gavin Newsom, who thought as a Mayor he was beyond the Law (a West Coast Bloomberg) spectaculalrly demonstrated that the procedures and rule of law were secondary to ideology and sex, which frightened and angered many of your would-be friends and supporters. Like the League of Nations created the situation that engendered WWII, your own political actions created Prop 8.
You should have looked around and saw where the hate was coming from: the churches you feared were often part of "sanctuary city" programs for illegals (another Bloomberg activity) and not the everyday Californian. You did "protests" where you claimed any news report of terrorists was "propaganda to create fear" yet any rumor of "anti-gay" was always immutable truth that launched your intimidation squads. You should have joined us to reduce government waste and taxes, for truth in media, and fought for the right to self defense, not only against thugs but Government interference. Common, "boring" protests instead of flaming drag queens and public fellatio (don't see the "straight" folks doing huge rallies about that, do ya?) and used all that Hollywood and art school money to support candidates that were honest and fair, regardless of party. Writing letters and studying the issues and lots of boring, non-drama, non flashy grass roots activity *against* the Socialist Ideals and Nanny State.
Maybe someday soon, what's left of the Gay Rights movement will realize their mistake, or will they keep buying into the hype as the current Administration marginalizes more and more?
My apologies to fair-minded groups like the Pink Pistols who understood that the First and Second Amendments are the ones that *ALL* other freedoms rest upon. As well as old-school, "true" liberals who are coming out of the Santa Cruz hills and seeing what they supported going terribly wrong- realizing that you can't expect government to allow people to live their lives as they see fit when you empower government to control choices and freedoms you don't support.
