Thousands protest Prop. 8 outside Mormon temple in Westwood

By Joanna Lin and Jessica Garrison | 3:48 p.m.

Santa Monica Boulevard is closed to traffic near the temple as gay-marriage proponents march against Tuesday's vote.

If they have a permit for a march, the police have to control the traffic etc...

[Tennessee Nana]

Which intersection was that ???

Are they going east on Wilshire from Westwood ???

Any WLA FReepers ???

[The Chid]

Wilshire and Santa Monica. They are now heading bach toward the Temple and the 405 on Santa Monica.

[XGMan]

I kind of doubt they have a permit to close Wilshire Blvd at 5pm for a “parade”.

What is happening is the L.A.P.D. is demonstrating what they’ve learned in all those “Sensitivity” classes.

I wonder how the Rev. Wright preached on these two subjects?

After some Googling, it's apparent that Wright is pro-gay and pro-abortion.

Last I heard Prop 8 has passed and gay marriage is unconstitutional in California.

Another of their favorite whines is, "How is my gay marriage going to harm your traditional marriage?" Then they proceed to indoctrinate children into homosexual practices and claim they are being discriminated against if they can't teach perversions in the classrooms. Not even to mention gay adoption. Whereas to heterosexuals and Christians, the entire purpose of marriage revolves around having children, being sexually decent and private, raising your children to feel secure with a mother and a father, and passing on those values by example to your children and grandchildren. That is marriage to us -- it's cradle-to-grave family life of blood relatives (except in the case of childless heterosexual couples who can still provide a mother and a father for an adoptee).

Gays are so self centered and cuckoo they think they can repeal 5000+ years of Judeo-Christian civilization
Judaism was a reaction to the rampant paganism of the day.
Pagans did all kinds of bizarre sexual things and gay marriage was common with some pagan cults

Obama may well be throwing the homosexual radical clique under the bus quicker than you might think.

He very well will. It is my understanding that homosexuality in the black community is very heavily frowned upon -- more so than in the Evangelical community.

That 76 gas station is about the corner of S Beverley Glen Rd and Santa Monica blvd

[Momaw Nadon]

First they came for the Mormons . . .

[wintertime]

One thing I KNOW about Mormons... is that they love... absolutley love playing the role of the persecuted martyr.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

How true!!! :-) And....They have had a lot of **real** reasons to practice that role.

Every time the Mormon Church is attacked it grows exponentially. This is very self-defeating behavior on the part of these demonstrators.

[WSGilcrest]

Cops oughta heard ‘em down to the warehouse district and let them keep marching around the block.

[Tennessee Nana]

They wont do that...

They dont do anything to illegal aliens when they “protest”

And these are Americans with a constitutional right “peaceably to assemble”...

They are just standing there...

No sound on the LIVE feed I’m watching...

They are probably shouting..

[Vigilanteman]

You’ve got to wonder why these perverts go to all the trouble to protest when all they have to do is shop for a dictator in black robes to overturn the outcome of the election.

LOL!

Cause they don't believe in democracy.

Not only that, but they really showed their true colors when they dared to expand their agenda and started indoctrinating children in public schools as early as kindergarten. IMHO, this may have been what prompted more people to vote in favor of Prop.8 And any black-robed party hack that tries to overturn the peoples' vote again ought to be removed.......fast.

Except for all the civilizations that have been destroyed when they embrace homosexuality. It's happens every time, Greece, Rome, etc, etc. This, imho, is one reason why the Mormons are so adamant about fighting this tooth and nail.

The Family: A Proclamation to the World

(SNIP)
"Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.

We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society."

Exactly the way it is here in Massachusetts. No sooner was "gay marriage" imposed on us by judicial fiat (we never even got a chance to vote on the issue) than the peddlers of the gay agenda used the excuse "gay marriage is now legal" as a justification for indoctrinating children in our public schools with the idea that perverted homosexual relations are as "normal" as heterosexual relationships.

One man, David Parker,of Lexington, Massachusetts was not even allowed to opt his kindergarten-age son out of class when gay indoctrination was occurring. He is trying to get his civil rights case heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Who’s playing the role of persecuted martyr now, the Mormons or the gay protesters?
