Proposition 8 is about denying same sex people from being Married, that the California Supreme Court ruled on, saying it was required under the U.S. Constitution. Now many people are rushing about with their heads chopped off, in pure panic, that Gay Marriage will somehow make gay sex a course in elementary schools, will make us Homosexuals convert more naive boys into being sex toys.

HOW BIGOTED.

And yet that is what is happening, as the supporters (not all, but a fair number) are saying. They use FEAR and outright LIES to scare people into supporting their Proposition, which is to DENY GAYS EQUAL RIGHTS UNDER CIVIL LAW. This isn’t about forcing ANY CHURCH to recognize Gay Marriage, or force any SCHOOL to teach GAY SEX. It is about being able to live as God Created Us, as Gay Men & Women.

The amount of money being spent by these people is amazing. Largely in thanks to the various Ultra Conservative Evangelicals & the Mormon Church. So it is time for those who truly believe in Democracy, in FREEDOM OF RELIGION to reach into their pockets and support the NO ON PROP 8 people.

This is WHERE YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE.

The syphilis numbers are shocking because just a decade ago, the U.S. was on the verge of eliminating the disease. Now 3.7 out of every 100,000 Americans – and 6.4 out of every 100,000 American males – carry the infection, which can cause blindness, brain damage, and death if untreated.

Rates among men are six times higher than rates among women. This, Fenton said, is largely because of huge increases in syphilis infections among men who have sex with men. About 60 percent of all recent U.S. syphilis infections occurred in these men. (source)

Now I don’t know about you, but that is rather scary stuff. I also fear that if this news is picked up, and is sensationalized as only the Media can do, that we will wind up having another round of Gay Bashing. I mean look at how Abstinence Only came into being, thanks largely in part to the HIV epidemic of the 70’s.

Like we need to give the religious right more ammunition?
