No on HATE!
Monday, November 10th, 2008I know there is alot of talk about the record numbers of African American California voters who showed up in droves to elect Barack Obama (YAY!) and eliminate my legal right to marry a member of the same sex (BOO!).
I want to say that do not misdirect your anger. I’m hearing news of No on 8 protesters verbally abusing random African Americans with hate speech (yes THAT word). NOT COOL PEOPLE! That is the exact opposite of what needs to be done. By sinking to that level not only do you step right into the image that may have made that person vote Yes on 8 (and likely an image spoon fed them by a pastor or other “person of faith”) but also you never know you could be yelling at an African American, straight but supportive or flaming homosexual NO on 8 voter. SHAME ON ANYONE WHO DOES THAT!!!!!!
We need to reach out to the people who were lied to by the Mormon Church - make them realize the underhanded way they were tricked. There are many people who voted for Prop 8 who wouldn’t have had they truly seen the parallels between African American and LGBT quests for civil rights. We may not be the first group of people to kick around under cloak of faith and feel good about it, but GOD WILLING we will be the last.
