" Very professional video, NVR. Well done. "

" Big crowd? I was there, and I'd say the pro-gay marriage supporters numbered about 75. The whole demonstration was pretty pathetic. Many held signs saying "No on Prop 8" as if they didn't know the vote took place last November. Then there were those with the "H8" t-shirts. Is that how you plan to influence and sway the majority who votes for Prop 8? I don't think your demeaning approach will work. The blaring loud music at the end, which was allowed to go on well after the marchers departed, was another turn-off. "

" Did you expect to see anything positive about the rally, JR? Was the weather nice? "

" JR I have a hunch that anything that happened at the march was a turn off for you? "

" JR,


Not that it's any surprise that you would attempt to be dismissive about the rally but I walked by around 5:45 and counted 107 people. Based on your obsession with this topic I can't help but think that that was you with the sweet yellow vest. "

" John, were you the guy with the yes on prop 8 sign there? if you think equality is not for all, why would you bother going and showing hatred towards others? I am sure you are a religous person, i feel sorry for your god if that is how he taught you people to be...
i hope you can find peace in your life and find it in your heart to not judge other people "

" Watching the video, tears came to my eyes at the thought that a certain group of individuals have had their hearts destroyed by denying them rights that are theirs to begin with. For some of those who want to "protect" marriage, I think it's hypocritical that some heterosexuals can make a mockery of marriage by having multiple marriages and/or get married after a drunken night and get a quick annualment or divorce. But, they aren't concern about that, no, they are concern that giving rights to gays/lesbians will somehow "shatter" the "sacred" image of marriage.. Please... (I'm rolling my eyes here).. I have know same sex couples who have together for 30 years, and treasure their relationship, unfortunately, I can't say the same for us heteros...
It's a sad day in our history when we say "no marriage for you..." do to your sexual orientation... Years from now, we will look back in shame as much as we look back as "separate but equal". "

" I agree, chito143. It's hypocritical for these people to say they don't want gay marriage destroying their traditional marriage while still allowing the current marriage laws to exist. Same sex couples can't get married but I can find a woman I've never met and marry her immediately. I think our society is pretty messed up if two people who love each other can't get married but people who don't even know each other can simply because they're of the opposite sex. Personally, I feel the opposition to same sex marriage would be easier to tolerate if these people were also fighting for stricter marriage laws in general. "

" The only good part of that video was the guy on the bike in the yellow vest. I busted out laughing at that part. "

" I tell my daughter "No" once and she understands what it means at 2yrs old... how many times does the majority of California have to say "WE DON'T WANT THIS" before it stands firm? A ridiculous waste of money for our already devastated state budget. Thanks for taking more money away from schools! "

" Hear Ye...You are RIGHT ON! That was hilarious. Yes...it does seem JR is a little obsessed but, he's beginning to sound a bit like Hannity. "

" Nice display of class and decorum by that gay marriage advocate in the video, obviously attempting to instigate trouble between himself and the bicyclist who had the nerve to express HIS right to free speech on the streets of our town too...but he didn't have the correct sign with him, according to the tolerant and caring gay marriage supporter.

Thanks for yet another glarring example of the hostility and vengeance we see so often from the gay marriage movement toward those who disagree with them. Didn't you learn anything in November? "

" I don't tell my kids "No" unless I have a darn good reason for it, or else I lose my credibility and get no cooperation from them.
It's working pretty well so far, knock on my head. "

" explain to us please, how giving equal rights to same sex couples is a drain on the state budget and how this takes away money from the schools, shrapnal? "

" I want to marry my goldfish, but my goldfish and I are of the same gender. "

" " I have a hunch that anything that happened at the march was a turn off for you?"

I was dismayed to see the marchers blocking traffic as they crossed intersections against the red light.
Did you guys reimburse the police department for all those extra motorcycle cops?

Yes, the weather was nice.
No, I did not have a sign or wear a yellow vest or ride a bike.
And I did not show hatred toward anybody. I was just an observer. "

I would like for you to be clear on something:

We did not take anything from anyone. We were living our lives, minding our business, having our marriage..when Proposition 8 intruded on our lives forcing us to divert our dollars from our children's schools and other community projects into a defensive campaign to defend our marriages.

If you think that same sex couples started this, you are very very confused.

We have done nothing to any one. Prop 8 was the aggression and I ask again..how does my marriage hurt anyone?

No one will answer that because it doesn't.

they will ignore this post and continue to espouse illogical arguments that muddle church and state.

FACT: Gay marriage is non intrusive and hurts no one.

I dare anyone to tell me how it harms them.... "
