5,000 gay hippies/fascists/anarchists/whatever marched on the Capitol building in Sacramento, California this weekend demanding equality. No on 8 leader Geoff Kors vowed “We will take this back to the ballot if we have to and get our rights back” and many, many inspirational speakers spoke, but who remembered what they said after Margaret Cho took to the stage, transformed into supergay Joan Baez and pulled out her acoustic guitar?
Though she didn’t announce the title of the song, based on the chorus, it seems it’s called “Shove Proposition 8 Up Your Ass” and in it, she says many terrible things about Mormons, their underwear, the sexuality of Jesus and all other sorts of of stuff which would be horribly offensive if it didn’t rhyme. But we’re not so stupid as to question a rhyming, singing Margaret Cho on an acoustic guitar. Sing it out, Louise.

Oh, Lord, PLEASE tell me that the same people in charge of the last Vote No campaign are not threatening to run a NEW Vote No campaign. Oh, Lord…maybe they could do this one 100% via email, then they wouldn’t have to go outside at all.

CLASSIC CHO!
Hmm
She’s telling people to go fuck themselves and the crowd cheers? That is the way they want to win a debate? That video is a gift from Cho to her enemies–one that will be abundantly useful in motivating opponents to redouble their efforts in the next stage of the battle. How utterly adolescent.

Margaret STAY FIERCE!
An Anthem every f*ckin demonstration needs to sing, let it be heard Coast to Coast.
Mormons you are so OUT MATCHED, we have wit and humor on our side, and you have barely literate electorate who parrot nothing more than Adam and Steve….endlessly.

Oh how I love the sweet, sweet straight up, give it to them, never back down…Margaret Cho.

For all the time Margaret spent on getting all her tattoos, she sure wears a lot of long sleeves…

So, wait. I went to that protest. Why am I being labeled as a “gay hippies/fascists/anarchists/whatever” because I am upset that bigots took away a fundamental right? Am I REALLY reading this on a gay blog?
Is it REALLY an anarchist thought to believe that my civil rights should not be subject to the whim of a popular vote?
Really?!?! Damn.

@BWB: Sometimes we’re sarcastic here.

Please stop the bullshit equivalency arguement– oh this is mean and bigoted and it’s just as bad as the other side. There is a very big difference between the Mormons who supported Prop 8 and Margaret Cho’s song: THEY GOT A FUCKING LAW PASSED AGAINST GAY PEOPLE. If you really want to sit quietly at the back of the bus and play nice, you will grow old and die without seeing equality and the Mormons will wipe their fucking feet all over you.

The song is just stupid. But, have you seen the video Cho did of the song that she posted on her blog that was directed by her weird straight male husband that no one has ever seen? There are really offensive scenes of male “mormons” having sex, as if homosexual sex acts are acts of violence to be used against the Mormons. You know, she also pis*ed off feminists and lesbians when she talked about wanting to have angry sex with Sarah Palin and called her a c*nt.
I think we should be ready for the realization that our #1 activist is a whack job.

This is the work of the “bigot” group that this terribly written and performed song is targetting:
http://www.pbs.org/mormons/themes/humanitarian.html
Here’s a tidbit for those of you who don’t feel like clicking the link:
“In the past 20 years alone, the [mormon] church has responded to over 150 major humanitarian crises around the world.”
What a hateful group these mormons must be, to give a helping hand to people who are in need. Definitely deserving to be the target of poorly written vulgar songs.

The mentality [and I use the term lightly] behind elebrating Cho’s cliched inanity is one of the reasons we lost the right to marry in the most liberal state in the nation.
Ya think it’s hysterical? So cool? Fierce? Bitches, you know NOTHING about creating Change, though if I ever need someone to organize another gay minstrel show, you’ll be the first I call.
As others mentioned, it will just be turned into more fundraising fodder by the haters and used to stop other gay rights advances across the country. Laugh at THAT, cretins!

These are the type of people that are looking for so called ” rights ” ?
I won’t support people like this.
