"Not everyone has to believe the same things." Or do they?
I've blogged several times about how the anti-Prop. 8 mob hounded the El Coyote restaurant in Los Angeles over the $100 donation of its longtime manager, who happens to be a practicing Mormon. Now, read this -- a closer look at how the mob ruined the manager's life: A life thrown into turmoil by $100...
Read MoreThe sun rose today. The world didn't end. So now, the anti-Prop. 8 mob is back to bashing Mormons and denying that gay activists have gone overboard with their blacklist tactics and bullying campaigns. Via the Deseret News:
The fishwrap of record whitewashes the anti-Prop. 8 mob.
Blogger Jane Q. Republican points to this NYT piece today heralding the anti-Prop. 8 activists on Day Without A Gay day. Notice anything missing? Yup, the fishwrap of record whitewashes the anti-Prop. 8 mob. Some rage is not fit to print.
Strike out.
Terrific. First, the tolerance bullies work to get other people fired from their jobs for donating to the Prop. 8 traditional marriage ballot measure. Then, the anti-Prop. 8 mobsters all decide to take off work themselves and "call in gay" to prove how indispensable they are to the economy. "Day Without a Gay" commences tomorrow....

You remember Marjorie Christoffersen. My friend Diana West first alerted me to her plight in the aftermath of Prop. 8's passage. Christoffersen is the Mormon restaurant manager of the El Coyote restaurant in Los Angeles who committed the sin of donating $100 to the traditional ballot measure. Her individual donation spurred an angry mob of...

A bunch of Hollywood libs produced "Prop. 8: The Musical," with the obligatory ridicule of people of faith and Jack Black-as-Jesus. If the opponents of Prop. 8 stuck to cheesy dinner theater protests like this, I'd have no problem. It's the insane mob attacks, sweeping blacklists, and church vandalism that give them a bad name....

Angry gay activists in Austin, Texas, have published their own blacklist to punish supporters of California's Proposition 8. The anti-Prop. 8 mob in Texas is targeting entire businesses over private individual donations. The insane rage rages on: Gay marriage activists who lost at the ballot box in California are now lashing out at businesses that...

This is such a shame. I mentioned the uproar in Hollywood over L.A. Film Festival director Richard Raddon's contribution to the Yes on Proposition 8 traditional marriage initiative campaign last week (link). Well, the tolerance bullies have won. Raddon has resigned.

My syndicated column today expands on yesterday's eHarmony post (link). As I note, eHarmony will be forking over $5,000 to the gay plaintiff and $50,000 to New Jersey's Civil Rights office. Here's the entire settlement the company agreed to, via onlinedatingmagazine. There's more on the class-action lawsuit against eHarmony proceeding in California here. And Jacob...

This story keeps getting more pathetic. Diana West first alerted me to the plight of the El Coyote Mexican Cafe, whose manager donated $100 to the Prop. 8 campaign. A mob of gay marriage activists browbeat her into tears and guilt over the contribution. They threatened the restaurant with boycotts and protests. And now, the...
Read MoreThe opponents of Proposition 8, the traditional marriage initiative that passed 52-48 in California, are holding a nationwide protest today. Will they control themselves? Or will we see more blacklisting, harassment, and intimidation? Prop. 8 supporters want to know -- as I've wondered -- where the soul-fixers and healers are:
You must read this. Read the whole thing. Make sure you get to this part: Yoo-hoo. Soul-fixer. Hello?
Blacklists and bullies.
Pssst. Hey, "Lightworker." Yeah, you, "Mr. Soul-fixer." Bearer of "Hope and Change." Across the country, there are broken souls in need of fixing. They are the opponents of Proposition 8, California's traditional marriage initiative, which passed 52-48 (the same margin you won by, Lightworker). Perhaps you would care to weigh in and work your healing...

I think it's time for Democrat leaders to counsel the anti-Prop. 8 mob to stop the protests and accept the will of the people of California. Tell them to leave the churches alone. Tell them to stop blocking traffic and impeding businesses and harassing elderly couples and targeting donors. It's over. You lost. Move on....

The GOP governor of California is encouraging church-bashing protesters to continue to defy the will of the people and wreak havoc until Proposition 8, the traditional marriage ballot measure, is overturned.

Prop. 8 is the high profile ballot measure on the California ballot this November that would overrule the state supreme court's decision earlier this year upholding the constitutional right to gay marriage. Looks like public school teachers and school boards up and down the state are more interested in battling over the ballot measure than...
