Stop the Hate: Vote No on 8 

Many of the supporters of prop 8 were surprised at the backlash. Haytt Hotels, the Morman and Catholic Churches, Hoehn motors, and so on were shocked that tens of thousands lashed out at them over the loss of civil rights. None of these bigotts thought so many would stand up against them; and the rallies, boycotts, e-mails (demanding explanations from business that supported 8) and calls for justice need to continue. Only this pressure will make them think twice next time. Unfortunantly this also means complete boycotts, such as Sundance. Only putting them in the light and showing their ugly side with acomplish this. Everyone write the letters and e-mails (no threats, just demand explanations) and keep up the boycotts!

first it was the jews...then the blacks and now the gays..this whole hate campain is nothing but a mormon hate campain..in ridgecrest california yes on 8 signs werte destroyed or slashed about the whole city this tuesday oct 20..all the yes on 8 people are mormons..(remember mormons and the little girls in granny dresses in texas..i don't care if 10,000 gays get married it will never stop straight couples from marring..their so called protect stuff is a lie to cover their hate..they twist the bible to justify their hate and when someone with REAL bible knowledge shows them what the bible really says they back into a cornor and talk about their traditions..they don't care to know what jesus said about their traditions verses truth m.c starr ridgewcrest calif

Has the entire gay community become unconscious zombies being led to the slaughter by Kors, Smith, Lake and Company?! I can't believe people aren't outraged that we are going to lose the right to marry because of utter incompetence from the No On 8 "leaders". We're being throttled in advertising by the most standard attack adds and the best they can do is respond with milk toast it ain't fair complaint ads (at least they're better than the fuzzy drivel that came before). How can these fools let the whack job far right fundamentalists put them on defense??!! There's miles of video tape of those psycho prop 8 supporters saying the most offensive garbage that would completely alienate them from most voters and make the Gavin Newsom loop sound like child's play. Prop 8 has got to be glued to it's scary far right backers, who, by the way, can also be used to alienate the black community from the measure. If we don't get down and dirty we lose, period.

Love is good Love is great No on HATE No on EIGHT I believe every individual has the right to choose whom they want to marry or not marry. It is appalling to me that there even has to be a debate. Its the right of every citizen of this country gay, straight, bi, transgender, black, white, purple or green to engage in the pursuit of happiness. When did loving someone and wanting to share your life with them become something people are afraid of? With all the hate, atrocity, unrest in the world you would think everyone would support two people who want to vow to love one another. But....of course not. So. I was on my sister for years and especially lately to register to vote. She registered last week. Now, not only will I be voting NO ON 8 in November but so will she and my mother.

I for one think it is pretty amazing that all these actors participated in this PSA. Thank you Robin Tyler and Power Up for making this happen! This is what volunteering is all about! GO girls!

nice to see Robin again!!! Thanks for once again, stepping up to the plate. I miss West Coast

Hello - Our local paper ran a story about the School board president for Chino Valley Unified School District, Michael Calta, is proposing a resolution asking the school board to officially support California's Proposition 8 (Marriage only between a man and a woman) citing "personal convictions". He will be doing this on Thursday, 9/04/08, at 7:00 at 5130 Riverside Drive, Chino CA 91710. I will be attending to meeting to confront him on this and was hoping to get some support in opposing him and asking him to step down. Thank you.

My Dear Robin and Diane Excellent article, thanks to the Advocate for posting it. I'm with you all the way on the "Stop the Hate Vote No On 8" campaign and look forward to working with you again. You continue to dedicate yourself to fighting for our equality, know how much it's appreciated. We stopped Dr? Laura and I'm sure the coalition of gay and gay friendly supporters you've gathered together will help defeat Prop. 8, as well. We can ill afford to remain silent, we must have to have our voices heard. If we fail to do so, the religious right fundies will continue their attempts to dictate who should and shouldn't be allowed to marry the person they love We sure could use your talent, connections and energy here Florida again for our "Vote No On 2" camping.

Yes, your so-called "smart way," Erica, the ubber expensive poll-tested way, has lost us 24 out of 25 state marriage referendum campaigns. These campaigns have repeatedly de-gayed our issues & at most only promoted warm & fuzzy images of LG people that have been stunningly innocuous & ineffective, for all the millions of dollars wasted on them. It IS very important to call people who organize against our equal rights "haters." The more effective anti-gay bigots like James Dobson wrap themselves up in sugary-sweet images of family, Christianity, and the flag, etc. They know that most Americans have grown to dislike unabashed bigots like Fred Phelps. They know that if they're going to successfully peddle bigotry, they have to cloak it. We beat Laura Schlessinger & Anita Bryant largely because we exposed them for the haters they are. We peeled away their soft supporters who didn't want to also be seen as bigots.
