Right to Marry Protests Rock West LA

by A Saturday, Nov. 08, 2008 at 10:03 AM

LOS ANGELES, November 6, 2008 – The Outrage over the Prop 8 election results that spilled into the streets of Los Angeles on Wednesday night continued all day Thursday and well into the night. The main focus of Thursday’s protests was the Mormon Church in Westwood. The church is believed to have funded up to 40% of the Yes on 8 campaign.

Protesters had the numbers to take the street and spontaneous marches snaked their way through the Westside all day. Police were uncharacteristically restrained and even facilitated the marches by rerouting motor traffic.

Employing what might be called “St. Paul tactics” protesters seized major intersections, held them and then moved on ahead of any police response. The cat and mouse game went on all day and all night. No police violence has been reported and to their credit the LAPD for the most part were very professional with crowd management. [Editorial note: This is something we don’t always get to report, but we are happy to see it when it happens]

Sadly however the day was not without violence. Later in the evening outside the church four womyn were assaulted by a small group of homophobic haters. Shouting anti-gay chants the haters punched and knocked to ground several people. The attackers were said to be from the church, but this is unconfirmed. What we do know for sure is that a hate crime did occur. EMTs were called to the scene and treated about five people for minor injuries, one womyn was taken to the hospital.

A short brawl between the haters and protesters is said to have taken place. Police quickly separated the groups. No word on the suspects or arrests. Police did take witness statements and said that they were investigating.

Hate mongering Christians

by Fredric L. Rice Friday, Nov. 14, 2008 at 11:53 AM
frice@skeptictank.org

Christians hate us for our freedoms. Since these hate filled Christian extremists don't like the United States Constitution, hate our rights, freedoms, and liberties, why don't these insane hate mongers leave for some other country more in keeping with their ideologies of hated and bigotry? Iran would be much more to their liking.

Prop 8 - a Month Later

by David Wadsworth Monday, Dec. 15, 2008 at 9:56 PM

It’s been a month since Prop 8. Peaceful demonstrations have been widespread. Yet, temples and churches have been vandalized. Prop 8 supporters have been driven from their jobs in LA and Sacramento. White powder has been sent in the mail to various religions to simulate anthrax attacks. The blogs are resplendent with comments like “burn their churches to the ground and tax the ashes”. The MSM, which was generally anti Prop 8, has reluctantly covered all of this. With this for fodder, the next round of anti gay rights commercials will make the Prop 8 commercials seem mild.
