George Lucas Gives to No on 8 Effort, Notables Follow Suit

Ziro%20the%20Hutt.jpg

Sympathetic with the plight Jabba's gay uncle, Ziro the Hutt, as well as countless same-sex couples throughout California, Marin County resident and filmmaker George Lucas, plunked down a cool $50,000 to the No on 8 effort. But wait, there's more! Lucasfilm, George's company perched in the Presidio, donated an additional $50,000 to boot. In related news, Google co-founder and president and the most attractive man in the galaxy, Sergey Brin, donated $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign this week, while co-founder Larry Page added a $40,000 donation. (We'll take that as a personal shout out to SFist, Sergey. Sigh.) To find out more about stopping 8, go here. (SJ Merc)

Well, well, well. My loathing of George is reduced by a parsec.

Han still shot first. (His wad, this is)

Concerning Ziro.

Sweet fancy Solo. I had no idea there was a controversy over the sexuality of a Hutt, let alone that there was a website devoted to reporting on issues as important to the gay community as the perpetuation of offensive stereotypes by fictional creatures. Hutts aren't Teletubbies. Are they...?

Who is this Elton, and what is After him?

Maybe if groups with that kind of time on their hand and legitimately good intentions in their hearts spent more time on what actually matters things like Prop. 8 wouldn't be in danger of passing.
