Happy 4th of July!
The Haight Street Underworld
Giants Clobber The Astros, 13-0
SFist Tonight
Check out the anti-gay truck motoring around town today. Isn't it adorable? Fortunately for it, it lacks any "anti-oak tree" or "pro-Marine recruitment" signage, which would've really pissed off locals Bay Area do-gooders.
Surprisingly, these anti-gay marriage folks are probably going to win regarding the state's decision as to who is and who isn't a human being allowed to marry. Why is this debate still going on? It's a waste of time, money, energy, and brain cells. Annoying.
Anyway, for more images of the anti-queer action gong on around town to say, follow the jump. And, please, we request you refrain from labeling the anti-gay marriage protesters as closet cases. People who are struggling with their sexual orientation deserve better. And we never fully understood that clumsy argument, which akin to saying that, say, the Klan or neo-Nazi skinheads are secretly black or Jewish. Some people are just hateful, period.

I was over there today and I told the Fred Phelps knock-off to eat a dick. Very satisfying!
Surely he's breaking rules of some sort ... let's pull out the City and County traffic violation what not and start writing tickets. See if he gets our drift we'd like him to piss off...
Now now free speech is far more valuable than actually taking these loonies seriously. You want to make an impact on them? Laugh at them, respectfully.

Dig the SODOMY! banner... kinda makes it seem like a fun-filled musical for the entire family.
There's, apparently, a lot of reasons for someone to hate. Clearly, not all anti-gay bigots are closet cases; that's way too simplistic. But, as with Ted Haggard & Mark Foley, one motivation for bigotry is as a means of suppressing "unacceptable" urges. And that applies across all sexual orientations (David Vitter, Jimmy Swaggart, and on and on and on).
There was a study done not too long ago where participants were shown images of homosexual sex, and both gay men AND men who identified themselves as heterosexual and anti-gay had measured increases in arousal states (hetero men who were not anti-gay largely showed no increase in arousal).
I watched a nice chunk of orals this morning and I'm not so sure that 'the dickwads' are going to win. Only one justice seemed really anti-same-sex marriage, and the questioning was much harsher on the state and 'pro-family' lawyers anyway. I give it a 50/50...
I'm all for free speech. I just wish, just once, one of these anti gay marriage people could give me an argument against gay marriage that actually had some basis in reality.
I moved out here to get away from people like this. Very disheartening to know they're everywhere.
rook, i fear in some parts of the country, this musical is a reality for some families. maybe that is the real problem these homophobes have with the marriage act. they want to reserve the right to sodomize their own kin and for nobody else.
