I’m really pleased to see the above ad by Ugly Betty stars against Prop 8. This proposition is dangerously close to passing and I’m horrified at the amount of money put into the campaign that will ban gay marriage in CA. Thousands of gay marriages already exist in CA. What harm have they done to any family or religion? Rather, the legalization of all marriages is a huge step toward combating the oppression and discrimination that queer people face every day.
As I walked through campus today, I stepped across huge signs that were chalked across the sidewalk declaring, “Yes on 8, Protect Religious Freedom.” Religious freedom? Excuse me? How does the passing of civil rights to more people restrict the ability of a group to practice their religion? It is pure hatred and mistreatment of the facts. If Prop 8 passes, I will be disgusted with the state I have loved all of my life–even after Schwarzenegger was elected.
And from the No on Prop 8 campaign, below is a video from parents demanding the Yes on 8 commercials be taken down that use their children’s images.
Also, check out the three No on Prop 8 PSA’s on YouTube. The first one is below.
