Anti-Prop. 8 rally Wednesday
Several gay rights groups will hold a rally in Visalia on Wednesday to oppose Proposition 8, which would amend the state constitution to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman. The state Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in May when it overturned a 2000 proposition that sought to ban the practice. The rally will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. at the corner of South Mooney Boulevard and West Walnut Avenue.
Comments:
Mormon millionaires from Utah bought Prop 8. Now, they are trying to buy its outcome. Laughable. Imagine Mormons giving moral direction about the nature of marriage. Mormons?? Their own founder had two dozen wives.
It's shameful and ridiculous that any so-called Christians support Prop 8. They do so with the same fervent hatred that opposed inter-racial marriage just 50 years ago. They cite the usual select passages from the Bible, and leave out all the others. The ones about love. Respect. Decency.
They rely on Bronze Age admonitions to justify their creaking prejudices. They lost the inter-racial marriage battle. Soon, they will lose the same-gender marriage battle. Why? Because real Americans believe in fair play. And REAL Americans always defeat bigots and ignorance --- every time.
It's why we have become such a great country. And will always be so. Thank God.
