Yep, those are in fact the criteria. Oppose equal rights? You are a homophobe. HTH, HAND.

@SFBurke: opposing gay marriage, but "being OK with the gays as long as they leave me and my family alone" is sugar-coated bigotry.

The criteria for being a monstrous homophobe must be pretty low if supporting pro-8 is all that it takes. It is unfortunate that those who opposed prop 8 don't bother to listen to the other side (or just focus on the most extreme elements); obviously it is easier to call people names ("anti-gay bigot") or bash on their religion (see anti-Mormon protests), than to actually understand someone could not be a bigot but also support Prop 8. Prop 8 opponents complain a lot about "hate" but they certainly spew a lot of it themselves.

Uh, no. An implicit criterion of RHoOC cast-members is that they were, at one point, hot. Watching those soulless cougars cling to whatever is left of their sex appeal is one of the attractions of the show. Again, this component is a rather obvious cautionary tale to heterosexual men. It's what happens when trophy wife is past her sell-by date. (There's not even a bizzaro universe in where Meg Whitman is a trophy wife.)

How could she be a supporter of Yes on 8 - she looks like the prototypical PE teaching, man-shirt wearing lesbian.

Meg could be a very good recipient of Stop 8 anger. She's prominent and seems nice, but is clearly the kind of anti-gay bigot we do NOT want running our state - and she probably herself doesn't understand what her hate is doing to people. She should be protested, EVERY TIME, by nice, telegenic, friendly gay couples whose heart she, personally, has broken. Let's see how she feels about that.

Being a bigoted, ignorant, Republican fame-whore makes her a spot-on "Real Housewife of Orange County".

Only a boy who likes boys could peg Meg for a Real Housewife of Orange County. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

She looks like a real aging housewife of Tracy, not OC. Maybe as far as Fresno. OC has a high milf ratio.

i don't think she's a dead bang loser as this posting suggests. i'm always pessimistic about these things though. i was pessimistic about prop 8 - this time i'll actually DO something instead of being pessimistic!

Ok you two, get a room. Or not as the case may be. One can have the room, the other can have the closet. Does this mean that our choices in 2012 are Meg Whitman or Gavin Newsom? Talk about being fucked before you even step up to a voting booth. I'm somewhat nauseous about these prospects.

Hello Sfist, thanks for not showing any ridiculous political bias based on a complete lack of knowledge of this candidate. Very much appreciated!
