Humboldt County Gay Organization Attacks Prop 8 Supporters

December 13th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Truth be told……I personally leaned toward marriage for everyone. It was hard to attend the gatherings here in Humboldt County this past year and meet the everyday people to which Gay Marriage meant so much. One particular interview I conducted with with Rebessa Caya, of Humboldt Pride.

What a nice lady who took the time to educate me on the issue and make herself available for any questions….at any time.

Another interview earlier in the year was with the national organization of Out Take Online, and it’s national director Charlotte Robinson. We have kept in touch and become friends. Another example of out reaching to the community to change minds and work for their issue.

Fast forward to the present. Prop 8 passed. New organizations have formed. New tactics developed. Not to educate and lobby for the Gay Marriage issue, but rather to destroy.

I received an interesting email from the new California director of Join The Impact outlining the coming assault on anyone who dares oppose Gay Marriage. And I use the work assault deliberately.

Local group calling for reprisals on local Humboldt County Citizens and businesses as sent to me via the Join The Impact newsletter:

As you see on the site, every individual who supported Prop 8 here in Humboldt County is listed. Inference is to cause action against these individuals and businesses.

STATE WIDE EFFORT

Shawn Steele in his Nov. 26th Flashreport, outlined several examples of this movement and the ramifications on some individuals in Southern California:

Richard Raddon, LA Film Festival’s director was hounded from his job because he is a Mormon who gave $1500.00 to a proposition that supports that marriage is between a man and a woman.

Scott Eckern, Artistic director of the California Musical Theater, for 26 years earned the wrath of the Gay Fascist Left who demanded his head. Eckern also a Mormon was forced out of his job. His action was to write a check for $1000 for Proposition 8. His sister is a lesbian and they are close. But he chose to exercise his constitutional rights and it cost him his career.

Majorie Chrisofferson, a manager for El Coyote restaurant, gave only a $100 and her employers and business is getting trashed.

Even Prince, the 80’s rocker, who is now a recent Jehovah’s Witness convert, is being maligned for supporting the Bible’s pro marriage messages.

There is a great deal of hatred over this proposition. But it principally comes from the Gay Left.

Churches are vandalized and picketed. Mormons while attending their churches are attacked. Terror threats have reached into the Mormon Temple in West LA and Salt Lake, with powdery white substances, looking like anthrax, are mailed.

There is of course more. What concerns me is the Gay community really made inroads this last year as reflected by such a close vote. The inroads were made by going into the community, shaking hands and personalizing the issue. By losing control of the message and giving the issue to the radicals within their organization, it will do nothing but erode the support they have worked so hard over the past few years to create.

The Mormon Church is also under attack on a variety of fronts. One additional email I received from Join The Impact attacked the church in a form that would certainly be considered “Hate Speech” in any courtroom. Interesting, since at the core, the Gay Marriage proponents are using the term “hate speech” as a central focus in their literature and message.

The tactic of destroying people and businesses leaves itself open to civil action as well as Federal voter intimidation charges as contained in the voting rights act of 1964. Denying free speech, or the ability to support or not support an issue is at the core of society. While the tactic of intimidation may be a feel good response, it will certainly cause the movement both future votes, community support, and more importantly…….credibility.

I will close this entry with the following exchange pulled from a posting board.

“As for the Mormons? I’m sorry, but I have no sympathy.“

German translation circa November 1938 - “As for the Jews? I’m sorry, but I have no sympathy.”
