The week after prop 8 passed a gay family in my hometown still had their NO on 8 signs up and their driveway was chalked with "faggot." This was in the only county in Southern California that voted No. I've only presented two or three instances, but I know there were many many more. What about the woman who was attacked in Richmond and raped because she had a rainbow sticker on her car?

I was spit at, cursed, and my car was vandalized. I was flipped off so often by people in cars with the JesusFish emblem that I decided that the middle finger must be a special sign for the Jesus Fish. Despite them saying this over, and over, and over, doesn't make it true....but their side's acquaintance with truth seems very limited. What does it matter? They win with lies, just like death panels and teabaggers. After the injunction against video... after the SCOTUS deciding to hear the case from WA about petition signatures.... after NOM trying to overturn Maine's campaign transparency laws (more <a href="http://gaymarriedcalifornian.blogspot.com/2010/01/scotus-and-equality-opponents-courage.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> .... and now after SCOTUS turning our political system over to corporations....I have no confidence in the SCOTUS, even if we win with Walker, and in the 9th circuit.

If this were all playing out in one of your deceptive campaign commercials, I'm sure you would be frothing at the mouth to have the dog put down as rabid. Unfortunately for you, you're in court against a legal team that greatly outclasses you and I have no doubt that while we don't condone dogs biting, you more than asked for it. You people are not the victims. We are not villifying you by pointing out that you are villains.
