Today (Friday 1/15/10) the notorious organizer of Proposition 8 is scheduled to be called to the witness stand.
Here's a sample of his handiwork.
Via Lisa Leff:
Seeking to strengthen arguments against a ban on same-sex marriage, trial attorneys have introduced statements from a supporter of California's ban warning voters in 2008 that gay rights activists would try to legalize sex with children if same-sex couples had the right to wed.The material was presented Wednesday in the third day of a trial brought by opponents of the state's same-sex marriage prohibition.
San Francisco resident Hak-Shing William Tam, a defendant in the case, discussed a letter to Chinese-Americans church groups during a legal deposition taped last month. Tam wrote in the letter issued during the 2008 campaign that legalizing same-sex marriage was part of a broader gay agenda.
"On their agenda list is: legalize having sex with children," states the letter, which also cautioned that "other states would fall into Satan's hands" if gays weren't stopped from marrying in California.
Lawyers for two same-sex couples introduced the footage to buttress their contention that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional because it was fueled by deep-seated animosity against gays.

Proof That Homophobia Blocks Rationality
Well, just back in from a short vacation and I find evidence in support of something I've always suspected.
Homophobia causes the brain to block intelligence. That's why homophobes say and do stupid stuff.
First we have Obama's gay-bashing legal brief in support of DOMA, something Jerry Falwell would have been proud to produce. And then we have the quick promise of hate crime legislation passing today ... only to see that plan scrapped and replaced with something really stoopid. Employment benefits for unmarried federal workers ... um ... well except for military ... and ...er ... without health insurance, pension, etc.
This is supposed to appease the GLBT crowd who can't help but notice that Obama is acting more and more homophobic as time goes on and who want to stop sending money to the Democrats.
FAIL!
