Donations From California Teachers, HRC Lead to $2.25 Million for No on 8

Whoa, whoa, whoa!!! Gays are seeking to imposing THEIR moral values on the majority. Most people are heterosexual and believe that because it is the natural expression of our sexuality, it is superior and certainly the normal one. Gays believe this is an immoral position and though they are in the minority they have been working for over 30 years to impose their morality on the majority while arguing that the imposition of the morality of the majority is unfair!!! Gays should be treated with the same compassion that any group deserves that is not able to function at the optimum level, but lets not be irrational. To foist what is less than optimal on the majority with name calling tactics (homnophobe, hater, intolerant) is what is REALLY unfair.

Tyler, you deserve a civilized response. I understand people have different morals and it's ok. Prop 8 it goes beyond a right to moral values. It imposes the morals of one group upon another. CA is diverse and everyone deserves basic protection of rights. In grade school, I learned a person's liberty ends where it interferes with another's. Who gets to decide which moral rights are higher or lower? It would be impossible to live this way. Prop 8 is not a poll to see who approves of gay marriage. A Constitutional Amendment writes discrimination into the fabric of our state, of which many gay people, whether you approve or not, are citizens. I'm not asking you to reconsider your position (maybe hoping!) but just to reconsider your logic. A right to moral values does not give the right to impose your moral values on others.

Tyler, You say "why are some people so intolerant of different points of view"? Why are you so intolerant of gay people being allowed to be married? Clearly, the intolerant one is you. You are the one trying to have legislation passed that legalizes discrimination, not us. How do you not see this as intolerant? I'm so sick of the right saying that WE are intolerant of their bigotry and discrimination of gay people. Are we supposed to embrace it? I'm afraid those days are over.

Paul from SD: I agree with you. Let's have a special report on who has given how much. And Advocate, I would really like to know how much money Barack has given to the defeat of Prop 8 and Ammendment 2. Come Advocate, your the nation's gay magazine!

How much money has Barack given to the defeat of Prop 8? He wants our votes, then he needs to stand with us publicly and show his support for 'No on Prop 8! There is no "present" voting on Prop 8! Show us the money, Barack!!

I think there should be a special report on all the people and companies that have donated money to this cause .

Tyler, as Martin Luther King used to say; "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". So, if you do not support us now then don't hissy fit when maybe someday YOUR rights gets denied or taken away.

I hope someone gives Tyler from Roseville some knock-out drops on Nov. 4 so he will sleep though the day. I am a priest from South Dakota and have donated money for the No on 8 campaign and hope that some day South Dakota will be far enough advanced to even be able to vote on gay marriage.

Although retired and only working part-time to supplement my income, I have donated my entire economic stimulus IRS rebate to No on Prop 8 and am working on a phone bankl. I would urge all working gay adults to consider doing the same --especially those earning above median incomes. If those above median income were to donate a measly $100, it would result in an injection of $50M. A poll by No on Prop 8 showed that when undecided voters were shown both the ad by the Yes campaign and the ad by No on Prop 8, they overwhelmingly switched to the No column. We need money to get these ads out as soon as possible.

NO on PROP 8 is down in money and the polls. Please donate. Talk to friends about why voting NO is important. Write emails to California newspapers. Post a video online against PROP 8. Do whatever you can to help DEFEAT this constitutional amendment.
