Prop. 8 outcome key for America's future

Homosexual activists are paying close attention to the outcome of the upcoming election.

The results are crucial to the pro-family, traditional marriage foundation of America, and a wrong outcome could make things tough, according to Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth about Homosexuality.

"More and more the Democrats are pushing for a full repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Nancy Pelosi's on record for that," he explains. "Barack Obama is calling for a full repeal of DOMA, the law signed by Bill Clinton that protects states from being forced to recognize out-of-state gay marriages."

LaBarbera believes the California vote on Proposition 8, which would protect traditional marriage, would have national repercussions if it fails. "And if that doesn't pass, it's a bad sign for the pro-family movement, and the gay lobby would just be overjoyed and go into overdrive to promote their agenda across the country," LaBarbera contends.

In fact, if Prop. 8 fails and Democrats gain the White House and a congressional majority, a same-gender marriage bill is likely to pass in Washington, DC, in January, according to activists and city hall insiders. Evan Wolfson, executive director of the same-sex marriage advocacy group called Freedom to Marry, told The Washington Blade, "Where California goes, so goes the nation."

1. The fundies were out on the street corners in my little CA town

Holding Prop 8 Yes signs, wearing those totally hip and Jesus-Approved long denim skirts with the snazzy squeaky clean "Sin Be Gone" sneakers. Of course the guys weren't dressed like that...they all wear "Dock Me, Daddy, Eight To The Bar" Dockers and manly high tread brogans.


I was getting gas, and watching them. Every time someone drove by and honked, they cheered.

Had to wonder if maybe some of those honks were for "Get the fuck off my street corner, Morans!"

2. here in L.A., I honked and thumbs-upped at the No on 8 folks

holding forth at a busy valley intersection....

Meanwhile, as for the fundies -- yes, if 8 is defeated you should definitely leave America immediately! No doubt about it!

3. I SO want 8 to fail - I don't have the words to say how much.

The fact that it does damage to their "cause" and their simple, little pea-brains might implode, is just icing on the cake.
