 Re: The Prop 8 discussion thread
Any way for a non-state-resider to throw support against this?

 Re: The Prop 8 discussion thread
I do agree, once a civil right is passed, it is never taken back under normal circumstances.

 Re: The Prop 8 discussion thread
I mean on voting "No". I'm not interested in associating myself with Mormon lunatics and gaybashers, in fact, I'd like to flip the bird to them.

That's why I'm saying, The best you can do as an out-of-stater is donate money to No on 8, and spread the word to anyone and everyone you know in California. I've done what I can. No one I know is voting "yes" for this thing.

 Re: The Prop 8 discussion thread
Yeah. donate!!!! We are neck and neck in raising money and the YES side is getting a surge now because we got a bug surge last week. But, of course, the surge closest to the election will probably make the difference, especially in who gets more ad time on TV. www.noonprop8.com

 Re: The Prop 8 discussion thread
So what happens if this thing is passed? Are there any demonstrations/street protests pending?

 Re: The Prop 8 discussion thread
Prop 8 now losing by 50% to 47% with 3% undecided. Close but hopeful. Please spread the word and don't give up!

If we get the landslide we are hoping for, it will help defeat this, and if we defeat this, it will send a clear and unambigious signal to the people who have hijacked our country for the past 8 years.

 Re: The Prop 8 discussion thread
Obama sweeping may actually hurt us. Because as the east-coats determines the election, people in Cali (for Obama) will not see any point in voting while McCain supporters will try to get out more. And, of course, majority of Obama supporters are opposed to Prop 8.

 Re: The Prop 8 discussion thread
8 years? i would go as longer.
anyway, it's good to see certain faiths (like Catholic, Buddhist and Muslim) speak out against Prop 8.

I can't imagine how depressing it would be for a married gay couple in California to see this thing pass.

I'm glad to say that whatever happens, ultimately discrimination and bigotry lose. It takes a long time, but equality does eventually win out.

 Re: The Prop 8 discussion thread
If this does not pass in California, the movement is over for some time imo.

If Prop 8 loses, I don't see California EVER banning gay marriage again. Nope. And isn't there a saying of some sort like "as California goes, so goes the nation."? I know Cali is usually the leader of things like this. If this fails (and I so hope it does) I think we will see most of New England, New York, Delaware and possibly a few others states start legalizing gay marriage. It will take some time obviously, but it will happen. I think even states like New Jersey (that has civil unions) and some mountain west states with a large number of libertarians make the push.

That is a good one. Best and most effective one I've seen, I think. This prop will get struck down.

 Re: The Prop 8 discussion thread
About 62% yes. Very high chance it will pass now (a turn is still possible though, depending on voter turnout in Broward/Palm Beach/Miami)

 Re: The Prop 8 discussion thread
Doesn't Rosie O'Donell live in FL? I wonder if she was vocal about it.
