1. Who was being homophobic in that thread?

I must have missed it.

On edit, nevermind. I see you wrote "voters". I was thinking our "posters". Duh!

4. No one. The voters, including Obama voters, were the ones being homophobic.

Obama carried the state overwhelmingly. Therefore, Prop H8 could not have passed without some Obama voters voting for it. :puke:

edit: H8

5. I just edited my post because I realized that you said voters.

I was thinking our DU posters.

But yea, I get what you are saying. Sucks!

7. D. voters in CA helped ban previously legal gay marriage. nt

8. I understand that, but this appears to be a call out thread

directed at DUers. I didn't see any of homophobia on that thread.

9. I think he was just pointing out a thread about Prop 8 passing.

10. It was directed at voters, not DUers

in particular, those who supported Obama at the top of the ballot, then turned around and supported bigotry at the bottom.

And, it was a copycat to boot ("Racism Still Exists").

3. People are stupid.

6. Hopefully we're on an upward trend.

I'd be happy even if many fake it until they make it.

And we still have racism, sexism, many many isms to be aware of and change.
