Update From the Other Side
Posted by admin under Uncategorized
In conjunction with my post from a few days ago, this time I saw “Yes on Prop 8″ proponents standing at an intersection just one over from the “No” peeps. They stood quietly on a corner with a sign and a few lawns chairs, but no one honked….Or at least, no one that I noticed as I zipped by in my car. I wonder if the “Yes” people feel like they can’t vocally support the ban because it might make them seem discriminate? They can talk amongst each other, put signs on their lawn, nod to themselves when an ad plays, but I wonder if they believe that they can’t stand up in a public place and shout (like the “No” people) that they think gay marriage is wrong? But, I wonder if they feel they need to do something at least as demonstrative as the “No” people by at least standing outside with a sign?
I just think it’s interesting how all this is playing out.
