NO on Prop 8 to Air Two Spots Produced by Supporters for YouTube  

Campaign will Become First to Borrow YouTube Talent and Air It   

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – 10/29/2008 – In a first for an American political campaign, the NO on Prop 8 campaign will pay to air two spots that were originally produced and uploaded to YouTube by supporters completely independent of the campaign. 

“We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of talent and creativity that has just exploded on the Internet,” said Patrick Guerriero, NO on 8 campaign director. “People just can’t believe how unfair and wrong this initiative is and they’re creating innovative Web-based viral spots to get the word out to vote NO on Prop 8. We thank everyone who has put their talent and time in spreading the word about the importance of opposing Prop 8.”

The independently produced spots have been a huge hit on the Web. There have been more than 3 million views of videos that appear on the campaign’s YouTube channel. Several spots in the channel have been ranked as “#1 Most Viewed” and “#1 Most Discussed” in the Nonprofits and Activism Category. The channel has consistently been ranked in the top 100 Most Watched Channels.

 “The power of all of these YouTube videos is that they represent a chorus of voices, a community of people who may never have met or spoken but share the same passion that discrimination is wrong. They have immediate credibility,” said Chris Maliwat, the campaign’s web strategy director.

Late last week, the NO on Prop 8 campaign approached the producers of two of the spots and asked them to pare down their Web videos into 30-second commercials. The ads, entitled “Constitution” and “Moms,” will begin running statewide tomorrow. During the summer, in a completely organic and grassroots fashion, people independently produced their own messages and uploaded to YouTube.

Background on “Constitution” (www.noonprop8.com/videos)

In a homage to the very popular “Mac vs. PC” ads, this ad features characters that portray “NO on 8,” “Yes” and the “California Constitution.” With a dry comedic edge and perfect timing, the ad successfully gets across the point that amending the California Constitution to eliminate rights is wrong.

A few months back, a number of friends were sitting around wondering how they could influence Californians, in an impactful and respectful fashion, to vote NO on 8. Their answer was to collaborate on a spot that has become one of the most popular on YouTube. The cast and crew donated their services.  

Collaborators: Andrew Oldershaw, Dayna Frank, Todd Shotz, Courtney Sexton, Angel Lopez (executive producers); Chris Panizzon (producer); Ray Lancon (writer); Jonah Markowitz (director); and Rachel Morrison (Director of Photography).

Background on “Moms” (www.noonprop8.com/videos)

Moms of all ages and ethnicities, from all over state, speak from the heart and call on California voters to reject the lies, to say NO to discrimination and to vote NO on Election Day. All of the moms are real, none are actresses and all are straight women.

The spot arose out of the collaborators’ frustration over the way in which proponents were targeting women voters with lies and scare tactics. The cast and crew donated their services so there were no expenses associated with this spot.

Collaborators: Yashar Hedayat (executive producer); and Michelle Jackino (executive producer/writer); Pablo Proenza (director); and Ellen Dimler (editor).

Ku Klux Klan Says “YES” To Limit Marriage: Prop 8 = Hate

Monday, July 28, 2008

Greetings fellow proponents of Proposition 8.  While we realize that some of you are not Christians of the White Race, the KKK stands with you to limit marriage to a man and a woman – not to limp-wrists.

Denying Couples and their Families the Fundamental Rights and Protections of Marriage Makes it Much Easier to Discriminate.

Allowing Friends of Dorothy to marry will destroy one of the great litmus tests in our society and make it harder to know who is straight and who is not.  Right now in California, all you have to do is ask somebody if they are married.  If they unhesitatingly answer “yes” it’s a pretty good chance they’re straight.  But if they hum and hah around some vague answer, they’re probably batting for the other team.  If we let same-sex couples marry, then they will be able to legitimately and honestly answer that they are married and avoid the discrimination and second-hand status they deserve.  How will we know who to persecute?

What’s more, in our experience, the rights of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community are inexorably linked to social justice struggles of other people we oppress, including communities of color, immigrants, poor, working-class and other disenfranchised communities.  You give same-gender couples the right to marry and you open the floodgates for others to demand fair treatment under the law.  That is unacceptable.

Denying Same-Gender Couples the Right of Marriage is not Really Discrimination.

Denying the right of same-gender couples to marry is not really discriminatory because homosexuals can always marry the person of their choice by just suppressing their real feelings through-out their entire lives, living a lie and marrying someone of their choice of the opposite sex.  Thus everyone is free to marry.  Consequently, gays and lesbians do have the right to marry the person of their choice so long as that partner is of the opposite sex.  Marrying someone of your choice does not guaranty marrying someone of your first choice.  See, no discrimination or inequality at all.

Denying Same-Gender Parents the Fundamental Rights and Safeguards of Marriage is Necessary to Maintain the Sanctity of Heterosexual Marriage.

We all know that same-sex marriage denigrates the sanctity of marriage for heterosexual couples.  Why? Because it just ain’t natural and right.  Society already denigrates marriage enough by allowing insane, crippled, illegal immigrant, interracial couples and incarcerated criminals to marry even if they can’t have conjugal visits.  We even allow non-whites to marry.  Just as striking down the ban on interracial marriage affirmed the right of marriage, so allowing same-gender marriage would further affirm the right of marriage.  Just as racism was about keeping people apart so denying same-sex couples the right to marry is about keeping people apart.  Don’t ask us to denigrate holy marriage even lower by allowing respectable, upstanding, committed same-gender couples to marry even if they are Christians of the white race.

Part of the sanctity of marriage is the definition of marriage which surely means the union of a man and a woman.  Proponents of same-gender marriage want to redefine marriage to mean the union of any people who love and choose each other.  What’s love got to do with it?  You can love a lot of different people that you don’t marry.  Even though we reluctantly put up with the redefinition of marriage to allow for people of different races to marry, that’s far enough.  That was very inclusive.  Allowing every person to marry the companion of his or her choice would be too inclusive.  We need more separation and division by limiting marriage to just heterosexuals.

If marriage can mean anything, then marriage can mean nothing.  Same-sex couples agree with us on this one because they also want marriage to be extremely meaningful.  That is the very reason they are seeking recognition of their right to marry and willing to undertake the same obligations and duties.  We can’t let them do that.

If gays are allowed to marry then when the rest of us tell others we are married, people won’t know whether we’re gay or straight – that’s denigration.  It’s as denigrating as allowing inter-racial marriage.  In the early days in our country, if you told someone you were an American, there was a 95 chance they knew you were a Christian of the White Race.  Now you tell someone you’re an American, and they don’t know what type of fruit you are because we’re so mixed up in this country.

We understand that married same-sex couples have the same obligations and duties as married heterosexual couples and that there are enough marriage licenses to go around for everyone.  Big deal.

Denying Same-Gender Parents the Fundamental Rights and Protections of Marriage is Necessary Because Same-Sex Couples Cannot Procreate.

The fundamental reason for marriage is to copulate and procreate offspring.  That’s Mother Nature’s way (even though nature never requires marriage).  Because same-gender couples are not biologically capable of procreating children they should not be allowed to marry.  Although contrary to the nature’s animal kingdom, many heterosexual couples just get married for deep personal happiness, security and fulfillment and do not bear children by choice or due to physical considerations including barrenness, disease and old age, at least they might have the chance to conceive.  Don’t forget the miraculous birth of Isaac to Sarah when she was 90 years old and Abraham was 100.   We don’t accept that the respect, dignity, security and personal happiness associated with marriage are good enough reasons to justify marriage separate from the possibility of procreation however remote.

Denying Same-Gender Families the Fundamental Rights and Safeguards of Marriage is Necessary so that those Families do not Harm Opposite-Sex Families.

If this were just about same-sex families alone, there would be no real danger.  But advocates of same-sex marriage ask that everyone change their understanding of marriage to be more tolerant and equal.  That open-mindedness undermines our cause.  Why, same-sex families could teach our little boys and girls that their same-sex parents are as good, loving and valuable as our opposite-sex parents and threaten our security.  We must never allow our children and grandchildren to be taught that their gender or sexual preference does not matter.  Of course, gender and sexual preference are only important if they are heterosexual in orientation.  Any other gender or sexual preferences should be subjugated and repressed in order to further Christian Soldiers of the White Race.

Denying Same-Sex Parents the Fundamental Rights and Protections of Marriage is Essential so that We Don’t Have to Accept Homosexuality.

Haven’t we done enough in tolerating homosexuals in our families, schools, neighborhoods and country?  We put up with them but we control them by not giving them all the same rights as heterosexuals.  If same-sex couples are allowed to marry, that will just be one more major right that we lose and they gain.  Soon, we won’t be able to say anything bad about homosexuals and that would be terrible.  Only by discriminating and keeping others down can we take what is ours and lift ourselves up.

Denying Same-Gender Couples the Rights and Protections of Marriage is Essential to Maintain the Tax-Exempt Status of Churches that Discriminate Against those Couples.

We realize that affording same-sex couples the opportunity to marriage will not impinge upon the religious freedom of any religious organization, official, or any other person; no religion will be required to change its religious policies or practices with regard to same-sex couples, and no religious officiant will be required to solemnize a marriage in contravention of his or her religious beliefs.  But it just ain’t right.

However, just suppose that there is some remote possibility that if the law allows same-sex couples to marry and our churches refuse to perform those marriages, then our churches will be in violation of the law and could lose their tax-exempt status.  Churches should be exempt from taxes even if they violate the laws of the land and even if they perform political fundraisers and political activities within the Churches.  That tax exemption allows Churches to have a competitive political advantage over other contestants that must actually pay taxes.  Furthermore, by not having to pay property or income taxes, churches with billions dollars in reserves in essence require the American people, including over 30 million homosexuals, to fill the gap and pay the freight for those tax-free churches even though those same institutions discriminate against many of the very taxpayers who make it possible for those churches to remain tax free.  It is heart-warming to see how many millions of tax-free dollars so many churches are investing towards denying marriage to the very people who pay the taxes that afford the churches to be so politically active and discriminating.

Help us keep discrimination alive. Vote “Yes” on Prop 8 = Hate!

SAY NO TO PROPOSITION 8

October 1, 2008

Sarah Palin was interviewed by Katie Couric and she said, ““One of my absolute best friends for the past 30 years happens to be gay… I love her dearly. She is not my gay friend– she is one of my best friends. She happens to have made a choice that isn’t a choice that I would have made.”   

 

Wait a minute she thinks it’s a choice??  Who would choose a lifestyle to be ostracized by society their whole life besides me?  Dumb Cunt Muscle.

 

I would love to know about this best friend for about 30 years.  What idiot would be best friends with someone who felt that way about them?  Unless of course it’s a fabrication on her part, after all she’s been caught in one lie after another.  She’s Bush in a dress, so I made a donation to the Obama campaign.

 

Also the two sides of Proposition 8, by the way for the record, the constitution was never stated marriage was between a man and a woman, it was just assumed, that is until dumb fucks tried to put it there in 1977, when they forced an added amendment to the legislature boos to read that marriage is “a personal relation arising out of a civil contract between a man and a woman”.  And in 2000 they “inhumanely altered” the family code to formally define marriage between man and a woman, because these people were panicked.  It was fought in 2004 and then we won because as of June 17, 2008, history was made, it was put in the books that marriage between individuals of the same sex are valid and recognized legally with the state.  Of course those dried up family groups are now trying again to stop it, which is how they again, “inhumanely forced” the Proposition 8 on the ballot to hear a counted voted on it again.  Because this so affects them we get married.  Jesus Fucking Christ. 

 

All they’re doing is perpetuating chaos and inequality lines, the same thing white people tried to do to black people in the first half of the century by forcing them to work as slaves for them on the plantains, and hiding under white sheets, burning crosses on their lawns and killing them….that is until the smarter side of humanity took over and stood by them marching and fighting for civil rights.  If I was there during that time I would’ve marched right with them.  But it’s happening all over again, and it’s time for us to get angry.  Those shriveled up bags that are for Proposition 8 had stated that it was forced upon them, that they have no problem with the gay community, but they can’t just come in and force the change upon them.  My question to that is why is it okay that they force their rules against us?  They just made a discriminatory statement, and you know that just makes me mad, and no one wants to see me when I get mad, because it comes at you from all angles.

Donald G. Laws of Long Beach

September 23, 2008

Donald G. Laws of Long Beach, California is one of those disgusting dudes that spends his time contributing money to ensure that hatred and inequality continue in the state of California.  He is a waste of space and a pointless human being.

 SAY NO TO PROPOSTION 8 this election of 2008.  A proposition that shouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for dried up men like Donald G. Laws.

I put him in the category of someone who contributes to hate crimes, and a dangerous person to societies growth, and you can quote me on that.  I can’t stand him.  He can suck it and I bet he already has.

Gay Customers Called “Faggots” By Kentucky McDonald’s Staff

ACLU Not “Lovin’ It;” Files Complaint With Louisville Human Relations Commission

 

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

September 16, 2008

 

CONTACT: Chris Hampton, (212) 549-2673

 

LOUISVILLE, KY – After an employee at a McDonald’s restaurant in downtown Louisville called a group of gay customers a series of anti-gay slurs, the American Civil Liberties Union is representing two of the customers in filing an official complaint with the city.  Louisville law bans discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

 

Ryan Marlatt, Teddy Eggers, and three other friends had stopped for lunch at a McDonald’s restaurant on East Market Street on July 26, 2008 while visiting Louisville for the weekend.  While they waited for their food to be prepared, an employee behind the counter referred to them as “faggots” to another employee. Marlatt and Eggers then approached the cashier, said they didn’t come to the restaurant to be insulted, and asked to speak with a manager.  As they waited for the supervisor on duty to appear, the employee who had called them “faggots” started arguing with them, repeatedly calling them “faggots” in front of other customers and calling one of them a “cocksucker” and “bitch.”

 

“Nobody should be treated the way my friends and I were at that McDonald’s,” said Eggers of Indianapolis, Indiana.  “When we finally got to speak with a supervisor, she said she didn’t see what the big deal was.  I couldn’t believe what was happening.”

 

The supervisor on duty refused to refund the group’s purchase, claiming that only the restaurant’s general manager could authorize a refund.  Marlatt said he attempted several times in the following weeks to contact both the general manager of the McDonald’s and the corporate offices.  But when he filed reports with a corporate customer service number for McDonald’s, Marlatt said, he never received any sort of response, and every time he called the McDonald’s where the incident took place the staff hung up on him.

 

“It may just be a few dollars for a Big Mac and some fries, but if I’m going to spend my hard earned money anywhere I should be able to do so without being verbally abused,” said Marlatt.  “The original name-calling was bad enough, but the fact that McDonald’s refuses to do anything to make this right just adds injury to the insult.”

 

“Although their complaints have gone unanswered by McDonald’s, Louisville has a law that protects people from this kind of treatment from any business,” said Christine Sun, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Project who is representing Marlatt and Eggers.  “Even though they won’t return Mr. Marlatt’s phone calls, we hope the Human Relations Commission will convince them to finally respond to this.  It shouldn’t be considered a tall order to expect businesses to treat customers with basic human dignity.”

 

Marlatt and Eggers say all they want is an apology, a refund of the $28 they spent on the McDonald’s meal, and appropriate disciplinary action for the employees involved.  They added that they would like to see one employee – the cashier who originally handled their order – be commended.  “The cashier was the only person behind the counter who seemed to get that this was wrong, and she was trying to get the woman who was calling us names to stop,” said Eggers.  “We really appreciated that she was at least trying to do the right thing when nobody else would.”

 

The complaint can be downloaded from the case profile page at http://www.aclu.org/lgbt/discrim/36781res20080916.html.

Women Against Sarah Palin

September 16, 2008

First it was celebrities speaking out against Sarah Palin, and now it’s the women of Alaska who stage a gigantic protest to tell the world that they do not agree with their fellow natives views.

Watch the clip:

This could very well be the first time in Lindsay Lohan’s career that I have fully applauded the woman. After reading her latest blog post I am giving her the thumbs up. She has publicly slammed Sarah Palin in her MySpace blog for opposing gay rights and not being a woman of this time.

To read Lindsay’s blog and see what she had to say, click here, all I can say is I now love this chick:

This comes just days after Pamela Anderson told us that she can’t stand Sarah Palin and that she can suck it and we can quote her on that. And quote her everyone has…

Pamela Anderson is actually one of the nicest people on the planet, and is a huge animal rights activist. She isn’t particularly thrilled to see Sarah Palin hanging out of helicopters shooting animals down so she can lounge on them in her house.

These women weren’t the only one publicly slamming the Vice President wanna-be, even the singer Pink jumped onto the train when asked about Sarah. She’s got some choice words for a certain vice presidential candidate.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

“If I were writing a letter to Sarah Palin,” Pink said at a taping, “it would be a lot of whys and hows. Who are you? Do you know? Why do you hate animals? Please point out Iraq on a map …”

What scares Pink are women who consider the Alaska governor’s selection a feminist victory. “This woman hates women,” the singer said. “She is not a feminist. She is not the woman that’s going to come behind Hillary Clinton and do anything that Hillary Clinton would’ve been capable of … I can’t imagine overturning Roe vs. Wade. She’s not of this time. The woman terrifies me.”

Pink, also an animal rights activist, suggests creatures other than humans should be just as scared of Palin: “I can’t imagine shooting a wolf out of a helicopter.”

Women aren’t the only ones, I’m gonna throw in Matt Damon who got the ball rolling to begin with.

Now all we need is Britney Spears, but she’s too busy putting up the finishing touches are next album due out in December this year titled, “Circus”. Maybe the title is her way of telling us what we’ve all become.

….and me, what does author, Kevin Hunter think about Sarah Palin?  I can’t stand her either, she can suck it. She’s against domestic partner benefits and against hate crime laws, the more we find out about her history the more frightening her history becomes.
