Liberal Hollywood ponders next step in fight for same-sex marriage

After the passage of Proposition 8, some are calling for boycotts and firings. Others worry about free speech rights being trampled.

Should there be boycotts, blacklists, firings or de facto shunning of those who supported Proposition 8?

That's the issue consuming many in liberal Hollywood who fought to defeat the initiative banning same-sex marriage and are now reeling with recrimination and dismay. Meanwhile, activists continue to comb donor lists and employ the Internet to expose those who donated money to support the ban.

How progressive and tolerant..

[bboop]

Maybe they can just continue to make those really ‘meaningful,’ totally unsuccessful, movies bashing George Bush and Republicans and Christians. They have their work cut out for them, and since it takes little talent — and they HAVE little talent - should be a perfect match.

What don’t these fools understanding about the majority rules?

[FlingWingFlyer]

S'up?

[KevinDavis]

Yet they call us fascist..

[Psycho_Bunny]

It’s fagscism.

[AirForceMom]

WTH happened to “ The people have spoken”?

[Twinkie]

Free speech cuts both ways.

Conservatism works every time it’s tried, even in places often thought liberal.

...and here I thought I was making that up.

Araki says Raddon should step down. "I don't think he should be forcibly removed. The bottom line is if he contributed money to a hateful campaign against black people, or against Jewish people, or any other minority group, there would be much less excusing of him. The terrible irony is that he runs a film festival that is intended to promote tolerance and equality."

Fags, once again comparing themselves to black americans and jews. This is why you must oppose terrorists at every turn. Never give them an inch. And for the homo lobby in particular, never assume their premise on any level.

[Mojave]

Close. That’s the only other use of the term I found.

[Jim Noble]

I've got a great idea!

How about some more sitcoms with gay characters?

And how about more gay men on Dancing With the Stars?

That should do it.

A lot of Blacks really hate that comparison.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Never underestimate the left. They will stop at nothing to get their way. The next step is obviously putting people in jail for speaking against this latest demand of the left.

You can already lose your job over words. Jail is next.

These people should give this more thought. Acts like this could backfire, causing the situation to go 'hot' at which time there won't be enough closet space to contain them.

I suppose this could be called McCarthyism....

[mrvirgo]

Hey, why do the queers need Hollywood when they have the leftist judges on their side? I don’t think it’s even 50/50 that the California Supreme Kangaroo Court will let the will of the voters stand. At least I voted Yes on 8 and supported traditional marriage.

[brytlea]

Yeah, sadly I have noticed an uptick in lesbian sex scenes this year. Two shows I watch now have lesbian characters, and frankly, if they show one more lesbian sex scene, that’s it for me.
