"... so they have to recruit our kids." That's the message of Prop 8 supporters. And Schwarzenegger and Obama stay silent. I will remember that. The tide of hysteria and hatred that has swamped gay Californians and their families, funded largely by the Mormon church, and largely ignored by the Obama campaign, is a very hard tide to resist. But we have and we will overcome it. If you live in California and want to protect civil rights, please call one person you know this weekend and ask them to vote No on 8. And if you live elsewhere and know someone in California, please do the same. Know hope. Our families can withstand the attack. And they will endure regardless of what the Christianist right can throw at us.
