The Insane Rage of the Same-Sex Marriage Mob

Before Election Day, national media handwringers forged a wildly popular narrative: The right was, in the words of New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, gripped by "insane rage." Outbreaks of incivility (some real, but mostly imagined) were proof positive of the extremist takeover of the Republican Party. The cluck-cluckers and tut-tutters shook with fear.

But when the GOP took a beating on Nov. 4, no mass protests ensued; no nationwide boycotts erupted. Conservatives took their lumps and began the peaceful post-defeat process of self-flagellation, self-analysis and self-autopsy.

In fact, in the wake of campaign 2008 there's only one angry mob gripped by "insane rage": left-wing same-sex marriage activists incensed at their defeat in California. Voters there approved Proposition 8, a traditional marriage initiative, by 52 percent to 48 percent.

Instead of introspection and self-criticism, however, the sore losers who opposed Prop. 8 responded with threats, fists and blacklists.

That's right. Activists have published on the Internet an "Anti-Gay Blacklist" of Prop. 8 donors. If the tables were turned and Prop. 8 proponents created such an enemies list, everyone in Hollywood would be screaming "McCarthyism" faster than you could count to eight.

A Los Angeles restaurant whose manager made a small donation to the Prop. 8 campaign has been besieged nightly by hordes of protesters who have disrupted business, intimidated patrons and brought employees to tears. Out of fear for their jobs and their lives, workers at El Coyote Mexican Cafe pooled together $500 to pay off the bullies.

Scott Eckern, the beleaguered artistic director of California Musical Theatre in Sacramento, was forced to resign over his $1,000 donation to the Prop. 8 campaign. Rich Raddon, director of the Los Angeles Film Festival, is next on the chopping block after the anti-Prop. 8 mob discovered that he had also contributed to the "Yes on 8" campaign. Calls have been pouring in for his firing.

Over the last two weeks, anti-Prop. 8 organizers have targeted Mormon, Catholic and evangelical churches. Sentiments like this one, found on the anti-Prop.8 website "JoeMyGod," are common across the left-wing blogosphere: "Burn their f---ing churches to the ground, and then tax the charred timbers."

Thousands of gay-rights demonstrators stood in front of the Mormon temple in Los Angeles shouting "Mormon scum." The Mormon headquarters in Salt Lake City received threatening letters containing an unidentified powder. Religion-bashing protesters filled with hate decried the "hate" at Rick Warren's Saddleback Church in Orange County, Calif. Vandals defaced the Calvary Chapel in Chino Hills, Calif., because church members had collected Prop. 8 petitions. One worshiper's car was keyed with the slogans "Gay sex is love" and "SEX." Another car's antenna and windshield wipers were broken.

In Carlsbad, Calif., a man was charged with punching his elderly neighbors over their pro-Prop. 8 signs. In Palm Springs, Calif., a videographer filmed unhinged anti-Prop. 8 marchers who yanked a large cross from the hands of 69-year-old Phyllis Burgess and stomped on it.

In San Francisco, Christians evangelizing in the Castro District needed police protection after the same-sex marriage mob got physical and hounded them off the streets. Enthusiastically shooting themselves in the foot, anti-Prop. 8 boycotters are now going after the left-wing Sundance Film Festival because it does business in Mormon-friendly Utah.

Also targeted: Cinemark Theaters across the country. The company's CEO, Alan Stock, donated just under $10,000 to the traditional marriage measure. Never mind that Cinemark theaters are hosting the new biopic about gay icon Harvey Milk. They must pay for the sins of the company head who dared to exercise his political free speech.

Corporate honchos, church leaders and small donors alike are in the same-sex marriage mob's crosshairs, all unfairly demonized as hate-filled bigots by bona fide hate-filled bigots who have abandoned decency in pursuit of "equal rights." One wonders where Barack Obama -- himself an opponent of Proposition 8 -- is as this insane rage rages on. Soul-Fixer, Nation-Healer, where art thou?

[television is just wrong]

all i know is that some anti 8 people were standing in line with us handing out flyers for no on 8, we told them that they can’t do that, they said we are 50’ away from the polling door and it is legal.

[Vaquero]

rump wrangling, butt boy alert.

[I see my hands]

To: Malkin.

The important thing is to not stoop to their level. Let's have autopsies instead.

Start mouthing the words.

[MeanWestTexan]

Reminds me of all the Republican riots after the election of Obama. . . .

Oh, wait.

[MeanWestTexan]

Next time (for different liberal cause) say “Oh thank you, can I have a stack to pass out at work?”

Maybe engage them in conversation, act enthused, and keep them occupied.

The File 13 the brochures.

[television is just wrong]

lol, the woman standing next to me asked the person if she believed in Jesus the brochur person said why yes, then the woman next to me said the bible said that life style is an obamanation.

I laughed.

I laughed. the brochure person left us be.

Anyone know where this "Anti-Gay Blacklist" is on the web? I'd like to know which companies to patronize.

[Cinnamontea]

Answering my own question -- there is actually a site at Antigayblacklist.com. Check it out -- and be sure to give these companies as much business as you can.

Here is the bottom line. They have so much rage because they HATE THEMSELVES. They know their lifestyle is wrong and they keep thinking if society accepts them, they’ll, at long last, feel good about themselves. But they never will. When they are alone, in the dark, they know what they are doing is wrong and no amount of societal acceptance will change that.

Romans 1:27, 28

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Reprobate = debased, nonfunctioning, corrupt

Their minds are literally not functioning and able to think and reason clearly. There is no point at all in trying to even converse with them. Actually Romans 1 pretty much describes most of our society now.

Heh Heh Heh

[Commander X]

These people are deranged. What do they really know about marriage? And what happens if they get it? Reminds me of two year-olds who cry and cry for a toy, then after they get it and play with it for two-minutes, they drop the toy and go play with something else.

[DesertRhino]

They want this only as a way to demean marriage. Otherwise, a civil union would be fine.

And though it is disgusting to mention, consider this.
Think back through the political debates in American history, and then realize now that our nations “big issue”, is that we are unfairly stigmatizing anal sex?

We are living through sad times in America.

Now and for all time, that is the answer to the rage some homos have. I have known a few who were comfortable in their skin, but most had a streak of "activist" in them, brought on by the feelings you describe.

[goldstategop]

They're doing themselves more damage than any anti-gay homophobe could ever do. No one on the Right has attacked gays or their right to live as they please. But tolerance isn't good enough for them - they want to force other people to approve of their lifestyle, as put in San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's now infamous words: "whether you like it or not."

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

[dbz77]

Prop. 8 won, whether they like it or not.

[FrankR]

I am always astounded at people who literally hate America and our way of life...but, who won't leave.

Over 200 years ago, Europeans were oppressed too. The difference is, they boarded leaky, creaky wooden boats and at set out on a months-long journey to find a better life, a life blessed with the freedom to follow their beliefs and liberty.

But, instead of moving to some desert island, and establishing their own laws and way of life, building communities, establishing trade, and living the life THEY want, they just act out and demand we change our country to suit them. Talk about audacity.

I mean, hell...they've got the country of california to be wild and crazy in. All of the laws are slanted towards their happiness and catering to their lifestyles. But, they don't get their way on one thing, and the tantrums begin.

It's like watching so weird, sci-fi movie.
