Prop 8

But this time it’s a good kind of pain. Focus on the Family, James Dobson’s little group of hatred,  is going to lay off over 200 employees, cutting it’s workforce by more than 20%. It turns out they dumped too much money into Prop 8 and their love of gay bashing, so they can’t afford their own employees now. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of bigots.

I’ve been looking at images on Flickr of protests today against Proposition 8. Wow what a movement!

The one in Cincinnati is really amazing. It has been in the 30’s here all day and raining, trying to switch over to snow. They estimate about 500 people showed up at city hall to protest.

This is a new, and very sick trend in American politics:

LOS ANGELES – Letters containing a suspicious white powder were sent Thursday to Mormon temples in Los Angeles and Salt Lake City that were the sites of protests against the church's support of California's gay marriage ban.

The temple in the Westwood area of Los Angeles was evacuated before a hazardous materials crew determined the envelope's contents were not toxic, said FBI spokesman Jason Pack.

The temple in downtown Salt Lake City, where the church is based, received a similar envelope containing a white powder that spilled onto a clerk's hand.

I, like many on the left, was very disappointed when prop 8 passed, but actions like this help no one. It is domestic terrorism and hopefully the person who sent the letter will be caught and prosecuted. We can all disagree and voice our opposition without resorting to illegal actions.
