Stop Tearing Apart Our Marriages!


I was almost moved to tears when a girl from a family headed by a lesbian couple took the stage and in a heartfelt speech asked why California voters didn't care about protecting her mothers' marriage and her family. This past weekend I went to Fresno to attend the rally against the California Supreme Court decision to uphold Proposition eight.


I'm a southern born boy, so pushing my political views out in the public and demanding things is definately not part of my upbringing. I have to admit I was scared to go to what I was told to be a protest. However, a few good things came out of it. Including the inspiration to finally create this poster I envisioned months ago. I know it might have been more helpful if I had published this poster during the campaign, but I just kept putting it off.


I felt so strange printing out a Yes on 8 sign with my printer, in my room. But, I had to in order to rip up the picture of the family from the original poster so I could scan it. When I was finished, I was so relieved to recycle all the the remnants of the Yes on 8 sign. PHEW! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the message in my poster and that it spreads around the internet. Remember, the children of gay families are suffering as a consequence for Prop 8!

Protect every Marriage? How about you look up what the definition of marriage is! Then you'll realize how every marriage is in jeapardy. Gay "marriage" is not marriage! It's a threat to society!
