Gavin Newsom isn't taking any chances on Proposition 8!
The mayor of San Francisco this weekend released a video urging his fellow Californians to fight the ballot measure, which would revoke gay people's right to marry. Newsom also penned a piece on Huffington Post in which he writes:
Proposition 8 is a terrible attack on our lesbian and gay friends, neighbors, co-workers and family members. But the response of our community shows the best of California — hundreds of thousands of regular people across the state joining together almost spontaneously to say "NO" to using our laws to hurt our fellow Californians."Yes we can" has a whole new meaning in California today. We are showing that we can stand up to right-wing extremists and protect equal rights for every single Californian.
Let's show that we can every single day until the polls close on November 4th.
Damn straight!

I so freaking love that man.
A friend of mine lives in the desert near Palm Springs and there are Yes On 8 signs all over her neighborhood (sorry Churchy, it's a mostly white neighborhood). She got into it with a near retirement age woman who believes that Churches will lose their tax exempt status.
On the plus side, another friend who lives in Temecula (again, mostly white) sent me pics of her teenage daughter and her friends standing at a major intersection with NO on 8 signs.
Prejudice, as always, seems to be generational. Hopefully all the young people who come out to vote for Obama will help stop NO on 8.
OOOps. Help stop YES on 8. Just had a McCain moment.
What a hottie he is!
Yeah, he's such a hottie that he's destroyed at least TWO marriages due to his inability to keep his dick in his pants. I don't give a fuck how much he "stands" for gay rights.
He's nothing more that an egomaniac that begins to wither when he's not in the media spotlight!
@ Paula: Maybe the ad would be more effective if he said "Hey, I demean traditional marriage more than the gays ever will!"
I don't give a shit about his personal tomcatting around.
As long as he + I see eye-to-eye politically speaking.
I can say, as a gay male living here in Los Angeles there are FAR more signs saying VOTE YES ON PROP 8 than there are Vote NO. I'm totally sad, the religious right has spent HUGE amounts of money to push hate/lie propoganda to a gullible and scared society. From La Canada to the OC, West Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Brentwood and Pacific Palisades, the yards are filled with VOTE YES ON 8.
I'm PRAYING there are more NO ON 8 people out there, just not advertising the way the YES people are.
No. 5 · Paula
Gee, judge much? (Bitch)
Its not about HIS personal life. Its about the fact that he's standing up FOR OUR RIGHTS.
Bravo Gavin!
Screw you Paula!
I never understood queers who fell in love with str8 men, always thought they were dizzy queens. After seeing this, suddenly I understand…I just want to wrap Gavin Newsome up and take him home. Total package: looks, intelligence, heart.
Paula – I'll say it nicer – his personal life has nothing to do with it. Listen to what he says – EQUAL rights means we Gays should be able to get married (and cheat – perhaps unfortunately – etc.) like everyone else! Do you understand?
Dicks in pants? Such a hottie? You leftists losers wouldn't know morality if it hit you in the face. Gavin is no better than a spot light living adulterer
