Prop 8 Backlash

It seems we have not heard the end of Prop 8. Even though Californians "again" voted to keep gay marriage out of the state, the opponents are not going to be satisfied. Now they want to boycott any who donated funds to the proposition. All names of donators are public information. We also read in the newspaper today that a suspicious white powder was received in an envelope at both the Los Angeles and SLC temples. Hazmat confirmed the powder was not toxic. It is shameful that those who work selflessly and without compensation at the temples have to fear for their safety.
Bud received the following letter in the mail at his office on Wednesday from a group called KickingALion.wordpress.com

To whom it may concern,

We are writing in regards to your company's support of California's Proposition 8. While we appreciate every citizens right to freedom of speech and freedom of belief, Proposition 8 singles out a group of people for discrimination. It undermines our basic freedoms.

As a result I am sure you will understand why, in these difficult economic times, we will be notifying the gay community of your opposition to our civil rights, and will be encouraging them to boycott your company. Seeing as you do not believe gay citizens to be equal, I am certain that you will find our money inferior too.

Sincerely,
A Billings

Any of Bud's patients who are gay would already know his position regarding Prop 8, as he had yard signs, flyers and door hangers available at his office. If they were offended, they did not say.

This group must obviously be identifying themselves with Lions, and using that as a metaphor to not kick a lion. How interesting they would choose this animal who is known as the King of the Jungle and lives with only females for the purpose of producing offspring. In no other animal species do we see homosexuality, (some my wish to debate this) other than humans.

The gay community will not rest until they feel they belong equally in the "marriage club." Even Elton John says they should be content with Civil Unions - that marriage is for heterosexuals. Some in the gay community think the post election tactics of angry gays are taking them back 20 years in their quest for equality.

It also looks like the argument will continue in the courts, and we may again lose the power of a majority vote. Just when you thought your vote counted for something!!! Arghhh!!!
