This pic hilights what annoyed me most about many church members and prop 8
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.

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

I thought it was funny - made me smile . . . .
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.
