My First Rally - "No on 8" in WeHo

Taigster
Sunday's "No on 8" rally in West Hollywood was the first political rally I've ever attended. I caught up with some old friends, yelled and waved signs on the corner of Robertson and Santa Monica. The energy was contagious, and it felt great to help the cause.

Please vote No on Prop 8 and stand for equality in California.

    • You speak for all African Americans now Soliel10?

      You know all black people in this country and they've reported back to you that they are resentful at me for using the word "civil rights" when I talk about gay people fighting to be seen the same as everyone else? Because the words "civil rights" belongs only to black people gaining equality?

      Are you educated? Seriously, have you ever been taught to critically think?

      Its YOU who owes everyone an apology. Why aren't you soul searching?

      I think its interesting you call the judges on the Supreme Court "activists," because if that one vote had gone the way you wanted, stripping people of their rights, you'd call it justice.

      you deserve to be insulted. you're a sick person who spends a lot of your time insulting other people, probably causing people to commit hate crimes against gay people because of all the shit that comes out of your mouth.

      who else do you hate? who else do you want to accuse of "hijacking freedom and equality?" you wanna take a stab at Jewish people next?

    • 70 % of African Americans voted in support of prop 8.

      They deeply resent their suffering being used by you.

      They deeply resent seeing their stuggle for freedom and equality being hijacked by you.

      I think you could start by some soul searching and apologies.

      May be your energy and hate against is misguided.

      You freedom and liberty from sames sex attraction will not come by attacking religion or the 6 millions who voted one more time to protect marriage from a 6 months redefinition by one vote in an activist court.

      Every one in the world struggle with different issues, especially with sexuality.You do not have the exclusivity.

      The United nations has a list of 22 sexual orientations.

      Insulting me is not going to solve anything

    • Soileil10: You are one sick bastard. People like you hide behind the bible so you can make hateful statements. get your fucking religion out of my state and out of my life. we have a government that is set up on the basis of check and balances. just because 52% of the people voted for discrimination doesn't make it right. what if 52% of the people voted to have you locked up for good because of your hateful ways--would it be right? no.

      50 years ago a lot of people in this country didn't want black people to have rights either and if left up to the majority they may never have gotten the rights they deserved.

      And stop saying this isn't comparable to an African American's struggle for equality or its not a civil rights issue. oppression is oppression--plain and simple, you don't compare how people have been preyed upon and hated. hate is hate.

      If you think being gay isn't natural then how do you explain children who are obviously gay and or gender different? they are not making some intellectual choice to be gay. if being gay wasn't natural and organic than it wouldn't happen unless we shot some synthetic chemical into people to make them gay. that's what natural and organic means Soliel10. it occurs without any other outside factors. how many gay people were raised by straight parents and a very straight society around them all the TIME and they are still NATURALLY gay?

      your arguments make me sick. when you really can justify your hate without the bible and without religion then please feel free to comment back. otherwise, stop commenting.

      go hate yourself somewhere else.

    • JESUS WAS GAY!
      God does discriminate against gays, Man does. If you look at the first bible, there was no discrination in the King James version. The word Homosexual was first put in the Bible in 1869- this is way before anyone who is currently living now. They discriminated against Jesus because he was GAy. His lover was Thomas, one of his disciples. The world didn't tell you why the crucified him on the cross(early discimination), because they didn't believe the son of God could be Gay. That is why they took the Gospel of Thomas out of the Bible. In the "Last Supper" the disciple laying on his bossom, was Thomas, as it says in the Bible, His Lover, the one Jesus loved. The Gospel of Thomas revealed the andrynous behavior of Jesus, and How God gave these qualities to all. Go to any bookstore, and look up the "Missing Gospel of Thomas." This was taken out of the Bible as a sort of Butterfly affect, to keep people from know what the end would look like. God says in the Bible, you know when God is coming back...when you see the rainbow. Guess what, it's not a coincidence that gays and lesbians represent the rainbow.

      Jesus was not gay. He clearly stated that a man and a woman should lay down next to each other.

      Jesus was not able to marry because he was killed.

      As the second Adam he was supposed to get married and restore Adam's family that fell.

      Xstianity does not understand that point so they came up with the Holy spirit (a femine spirit) and created the Trinity, a God with 3 persons. It is very confusing and unexplainable.

      Man and woman uniting as one is the reflection of God who is a parent (both male and female.)

      If Jesus could have created a family, Homosexuaity would not exist today.

      Unless Xstianity clears up its Theology,confusion will continue

    • People with same sex attraction will never reach equality on marriage until they keep rejecting the opposite sex and do not solve the issue that handicap them.

      This is the battle they shoud win. It is within themselves.

      Once they have accomplished that, they can create a union that can create life and lineage.

      Taking the rights and need of children to have their own mother and father is the biggest inequality there is.

      I am sorry you see it that way.

      Should I say that all you people do is to say that we hate you. That is a cop out in my opinion.

      You are not a victim. I am not your enemy either

      Stop using their suffering and steal the civil right movement trying ot manipulate the public opinion

      More than anybody else they have suffered from slavery and have struggled for equality.

      They do not agree with you and resent being used by you

    • Way to go, Taigster, on the rally. It's good to see people turn out for a good cause. The fight against Proposition 8 is not over. Lambda Legal is leading the legal charge in the court to restore the right of gays and lesbians to marry in California, as is Equality California. You can help out these organizations at their websites at www.lambdalegal.org and www.eqca.org.
