Prop 8 Protest/Boycott Rally – San Diego, Saturday 11/22 5-7pm
Manchester Grand Hyatt, 1 Market Place, San Diego (map)
Fight Back Against Prop 8 – Boycott Manchester Grand Hyatt
Doug Manchester is one of the leading funders ($125,000) of Proposition 8, a California ballot initiative that discriminates against LGBT couples. While Hyatt may officially disavow Manchester’s contributions to Proposition 8 as a personal choice, the fact remains that their multi-million dollar LGBT marketing efforts must be seen as little more than sheer hypocrisy when the revenue this marketing attracts is then funneled into efforts that bite the hand which feeds them. In such a situation, we always have the ability to choose not to feed them any longer.

Please send the info to NoOnH8 at gmail dot com, with the subject line “Event Submission”
and we’ll post it on our page, blog & future bulletins!

Please keep us updated on any changes or cancellations!

Special thanks to: http://queersunited. blogspot. com/, http://sites. google. com/site/noonprop8events/Home, and http://prop8protests. com/ for the assistance in the protest listings.

It seems that with the growing media interest that this is snowballing into ‘Stonewall on Steroids’ with the inevitable March on Washington to Come perhaps in the Spring and predicted to bring out easily more than a million especially since the “Non-protester” types see the time to protect and fight for our Equal Rights and the same civil rights as others who can marry. Many gays believe that an Obama administration may be Hope for Change on Gay Legal Marriage and protecting Gay families.

The November 15th National Protest on Saturday is listed at http://www.jointheprotest.com as every city in the US mobilizes for the right to Gay Marriage and opposition to Proposition 8 which passed in California, as well as anti-Gay Marriage wins in Arizona and Florida.

You lack understanding – you are a fool. Sad. I’m sad for you.

Please, read the last five or so posts. The only one exhibiting “childish frustration and hate” is you.

Seriously, this makes you (and the rest of us) look really bad. Like we’re not going to even attempt to get along with the rest of society unless they give us everything we want – and NOW.

And believe me, I’m not being a dick about this – I’m really trying to help you understand something here – THE WORLD IS NOT FAIR. The sooner you understand this the better off you’ll be. From an older gay man to what I percieve is a young gay man, I’m offering you wisdom.

I want my rights too, but not like this. You guys are making trouble for everyone. You might want to look up “backlash” in the dictionary. There are other ways to go about this than pissing into the wind.

As for my “apathy” – I can only say that some of us have jobs and can’t afford to dance around in the streets all day. It took a lot of money to finance this losing campaign and a lot of individuals contributed to it. Jobs = $. $ = No on 8.

Farmer Ted: thanks for your kind words. I get the feeling you “play for the other team”, but it’s nice to find common ground.

You are wise beyond your years. These bitch-fest protests by mobs of shrieking, petulant children will backfire, and in fact is doing so already. I’ve been hearing from a lot of people that were on the fence about 8 but went with NO, but are now pissed because all this looks like is a bunch of brats who are mad because they didn’t get their way.

Americans really do cherish the power of their vote, and these mobs greatly underestimate the backlash of public sentiment when you make people feel they are being disenfranchised. And yes, that goes the same for some of those who voted NO, but place greater importance on the democratic process and rule of law.

Look all I’m saying is that we have to live in a society and it’s not going to win us any popularity contests acting bitchy when we lost the vote, not once but twice. I’m sure some of these homophobic assholes are just waiting for us to give them an excuse.

What did we really lose, anyway? Four judges handed down the “right” to marry. Wouldn’t you rather win it with the support of the majority? I really believe that may happen in a few years. Doing what we’re doing now could backfire on us big time. I don’t want my community being seen as imposing our way of life on the rest of society.

MEDIA RELEASE

THOUSANDS EXPECTED TO ATTEND
PROTEST WEDNESDAY AT NYC MORMON TEMPLE
ADJACENT TO LINCOLN CENTER

DEMONSTRATORS WILL CONDEMN
THE LDS CHURCH’S LEADING ROLE IN
PASSAGE OF CALIFORNIA’S ANTI-GAY PROPOSITION 8

NEW YORK CITY (Nov. 11, 2008) — Several thousand human rights
advocates will march on the Mormon Temple in a peaceful protest on
Wednesday, November 12 at 6:30pm. Demonstrators will speak out
against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for the
active role it played in passing California’s Proposition 8, a
constitutional amendment that overturns a state Supreme Court
decision in May which legalized same-sex unions.

The Manhattan New York Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints is located at 125 Columbus Ave at 65th Street. The protest
will run from 6:30pm to 8pm.

“Hatred has no place in society and it has no place in state
constitutions,” said Corey Johnson, co-organizer of the protest.
“Proposition 8 robs the LGBT community of its dignity and equality as
American citizens. While human rights activists in California work to
overturn this shameful amendment, we here in New York protest in
solidarity with them, and we will work to ensure that a similar law
never happens here.”

LGBT activists and their allies will march in protest in front of the
Mormon Temple, carrying signs and banners, including a 75 -foot
banner declaring “God Loves Gay Marriage”. This was handsewn for the
demonstration by veteran activist Gilbert Baker, the creator of the
Rainbow Flag, which is the universal symbol of LGBT liberation.

The Manhattan demonstration follows on the heels of protests in
California that begin last week after the passage of Prop. 8. Tens of
thousands of people have marched in anger through San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Palm Springs, San Diego, Sacramento, Oakland, Fresno, Salt
Lake City, Dallas and Chicago, among other cities. A national day of
protest is planned for Saturday, November 15, organized by Join the
Impact. For details on events across America, visit
http://www.jointheimpact.com/.

It is estimated that members of the LDS Church contributed more than
$20 million to ensure passage of Proposition 8, while Church leaders
orchestrated a vicious propaganda campaign from the pulpit. The
proposition passed narrowly with 52% of the vote, versus 48% against.

More than 18,000 gay and lesbian couples have tied the knot in
California since June 17. New York State Gov. David Paterson issued a
directive in May requiring state agencies to recognize same-sex
marriages performed elsewhere. Paterson has said that if the Assembly
and Senate pass legislation for gay marriage, he will sign it.

ATTENTION MEDIA: For advance interviews with Corey Johnson, please
call Jay Blotcher at(845) 612-9837. Johnson, Gilbert Baker, local
politicians and same-sex married couples will be available at the
demonstration.

Saturday, November 15 2008, 10:30am
@ Volunteer Park

On Saturday, November 15, Queer McGill invites all Montrealers (queer or not) who care about civil liberties and equality under the law to join the peaceful demonstration against these reactionary outcomes. The gathering will begin in front of McGill’s Roddick gates and will conclude in front of the American consulate at Rene-Levesque and St. Alexandre. Though Canada granted same-sex unions equality under the law in 2005, Canadian queers recognize that the struggle for recognition and respect continues, and that “change” cannot truly advance if entire groups of society continue to be oppressed.

When: Saturday, November 15th at 1:00pm
Where: Start—McGill’s Roddick Gates (rue Sherbrooke and ave. McGill College)
End— The United States Consulate (1155 rue St-Alexandre)

I’m not saying everyone has to be a political machine but instead of saying “why weren’t you doing this before the election?” a simple “thank you” will suffice.

Sorry about the confusion…

UPDATE: the website to go to is jointheimpact.com

that’s .com (not .org)

just so there’s no confusion

Again, big thanks for all your efforts

!! This gives info regarding Washington DC. Protest starts at 1:30pm at the Nations Capitol !!

Choose one site and keep posting the link to remind people!!!

My suggestion: help http://www.jointheimpact.org to keep the list.

The complacency killed us. I guess we didn’t take these freak cults and religious zealots serious enough.

If there is any good at all to come of this it will be the the renewed energy and urgency of defeating the right wing and securing our human rights.
