On California Proposition 8

Question: So what’s wrong with a bunch of gays promoting love and acceptance? Answer: the hypocrisy and wickedness they demostrate when they don’t get their way. (Coupled with the wickedness of… well… their couples.)

Do they really want love and acceptance? Look at these, prior to the vote:

Proposition 8 - They Just Want Equality??

Proposition 8 - They just want acceptance??

Okay, FINE. Supposedly they seek love, acceptance, and equality? No. Look at these, post-vote:

Proposition 8 Vandalism

Gay Marriage Ban Protest - Around LDS Temple Grounds

This is the acceptance they want?

This is the love they want??

If their coalitions for love and peace and acceptance and equality are “so right,” then why are they so hateful and unjust and mob-like and violent now?

Why are they targetting the LDS Church? Consider this: there are about 770,000 Mormons in California. Suppose about half of them are active. Another third of those are children/minors. That leaves about 256,000 members of the Church in California that may have voted in the affirmative in proposition 8.

There are 36.5 million people in California. So the Church members perhaps influenced less than 1% of the final vote - that’s if everyone voted. Remember: the proposition passed in the affirmative by plenty more than 1%. Why do they target the Church? It’s as if the Catholics, Protestant demoninations, and other good Christian churches don’t support Proposition 8. In fact, at the time of this post, if you search Google News for “catholic church proposition 8,” the first result is about the Mormon church taking a beating. Why are the gays not striking at the Catholic church? There are more Catholics in California than Mormons… by a landslide… makes you wonder, huh.

What happened to racism, anyway? Check this out: 70% of African Americans voted YES on Proposition 8, according to a recent exit poll. Yet we don’t see the gays bashing the African Americans (or the Latinos) - how come?

The First Presidency of the LDS Church released “The Family: A Proclamation To The World” in 1995. Nobody seemed to give it much thought then even though it was a direct statement from the Church asking citizens and governments to uphold the sanctity of marriage. The Church has a right and obligation to its doctrinal beliefs to defend and uphold that proclamation. It is declared to the world (regardless of political sect or region) to be the ultimate and absolute truth of God’s eternal plan for the foundation of society.

These people are not just void of religion, they are also void of logic and depraved of the knowledge of what is important.

At this point, I’m going to link to a forum post on Democratic Underground where the protests around the Los Angeles temple were getting national attention. A word of caution: the text of the discourse between these people may offend some people. It’s full of senseless bantering, not unlike other comments by gays about Prop 8. Read their rant. Is this the kind of people we want more of?

Obviously, considering how the gays are reacting, it’s a good thing they cannot - by law - get married and reproduce.

Oh wait.
