After the passage of Proposition 8, a measure that amends California’s constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman, homosexuals started protesting in the streets, blocking traffic, and trying to intimidate Mormons. Why Mormons?
A rumor was going around that the Mormon church had spent millions on “deceptive” ads supporting Prop 8, which a spokesman denied. The church itself didn’t pay for any ads.
Homosexuals “marched” to Mormon churches, yelled in people’s faces, snatched Bibles from the elderly, and other nonsense.
But that was strange. Why were they focusing on Mormons, when 70 percent of black voters in the state voted YES on Prop 8? Curious, but not complicated. I made the observation, as did Thomas Sowell, that white homosexuals hadn’t dared and would not have dared “march” to black churches and harass black churchgoers, although it would have made more sense for them to head down to Watts or Compton or up to Oakland and express their disappointment. Can you imagine such a scenario? I’d pay good money to see that.
Now I’m wondering the same about actor Tom Hanks. Singling out Mormons for voting to protect traditional marriage, Hanks called them “un-American.” An overwhelming majority of blacks supported the measure. I suppose the same applies to them, yes? Perhaps Hanks is waiting until MLK’s birthday on Monday or Barack Obama’s inauguration on Tuesday to make his pronouncement. What do you think? I’d pay good money to hear that.
I concur with Michael van der Galien at Big Hollywood. “We the people” voting to amend a constitution is American. Legislating from the bench is not only un-American, it’s unconstitutional. Put down the scripts, Mr. Hanks (loved “Cast Away,” by the way), and pick up a copy of the Constitution. It’s a fascinatingly simple yet profound document.
