Video: Elderly Woman Assaulted By Outraged Gays During Prop 8 Protest
No matter how much they yell and scream, assault old ladies, or even desecrate churches, gays are not gonna be getting married anytime soon — in California at least. Personally, I don’t have a problem with gay marriage but in a democracy you put issues to a vote. People were asked if they wanted gay marriage and the resounding answer was “NO.” So all the protesting and outrage is a mute point, because the people have spoken.
It’s possible that people’s ideas about gay marriage may change in a future election and the vote will come out different. However, one way gay people can insure they NEVER are allowed to marry is to behave the way they do in this video. Ripping a cross from the hands of an old lady and stomping on it is most definitely not the way to win friends and influence people.
California Voters Pass Ban On Gay-Marriage
For all the talk about America supposedly shifting left as a way to explain the Obama victory, the gay marriage issue proves otherwise.
California is ground zero for all things liberal, but apparently even California voters aren’t quite ready for gay marriage.
In an election otherwise full of liberal triumphs, the gay rights movement suffered a stunning defeat as California voters approved a ban on same-sex marriages that overrides a recent court decision legalizing them.
The constitutional amendment—widely seen as the most momentous of the nation’s 153 ballot measures—will limit marriage to heterosexual couples, the first time such a vote has taken place in a state where gay unions are legal.
Gay-rights activists had a rough election elsewhere as well. Ban-gay-marriage amendments were approved in Arizona and Florida, and Arkansas voters approved a measure banning unmarried couples from serving as adoptive or foster parents. Supporters made clear that gays and lesbians were their main target.
In California, with 95 percent of precincts reporting Wednesday, the ban had 5,125,752 votes, or 52 percent, while there were 4,725,313 votes, or 48 percent, opposed.
I’m actually pretty stunned that California of all places would so soundly reject this issue. I really figured with all the money activist groups threw at it and with the usual Hollywood sycophants speaking out on it — Prop 8 would fail. Looks like there’s still a few traditional Americans left — even in California.
