I think that's exUte at the top of the wall, supporting prop 8 from SLC. BTW, I've never noticed the nice handrails on the stairs in this painting.

Yeah, I always got a chuckle out of the hand rails. What good is a huge city wall if you can get up to the top quickly and safely? What if the elevator is out of commission?

I saw that pic over on CB. You know what amazes me about CB is that the mods seem to have a hair trigger about religious posts, personal attacks, etc. but it is amazing how much homophobic crap they allow over there lately.

Perhaps Samuel was an OSHA inspector, and in the picture he's proclaiming, "This walkway is NOT wheelchair accessible!"

[Cue SU for the observation that the Americas did not have the wheelchair until the Spaniards arrived]

I never noticed the handrails before either. Pretty funny. I guess despite their wickedness they had stringent building codes and inspectors.

Those who were really involved in the effort in CA (and I have a hunch very few posting here were) loved the graphic. It just made us laugh because it captured the way we felt.

It was done by a volunteer in Orange County and caught on quickly.

Disregarding all of our personal feelings on Prop 8, I think that one of the impacts seems to be that many church members came together for a cause, worked very hard to accomplish something that most thought was improbable, and faced a lot of opposition. All these things will tend to bring people together and strengthen the bonds between them. This may prove to be one of the strongest long-term impacts of the effort. SU feels there will be others, of a negative nature, and he may be right for all I know. You could make the argument that, even if Prop 8 is overturned in the courts and never has an impact legally, it has had a great impact on the California members.

If you're referring to the protests then I doubt there are many here who approve. I don't think the protesters are representative of the no on 8 movement as a whole anyway. I've had 2 lesbian co-workers tell me they were embarrassed to think I might associate them with that behavior.
