California Proposition 8 – Protect Traditional Marriage Supporters Denounce Foes for Harrassment and Intimidation

Religious leaders and the Protect Marriage Coalition Leadership Unite Against Vicious Attacks By Prop 8 Opponents

Last Friday, Yes on California Proposition 8 supporters who changed the California Constitution and restored the traditional definition of marriage (one man and one woman) held a news presser denouncing the continuing harrassment and intimidtion of supporters – even after the election.

Proposition 8 leaders gathered Friday to denounce their opponents’ post-election tactics as harassment, intimidation and – in the case of white powder sent to two Mormon temples – “domestic terrorism.”

Ten days after the Prop. 8 ban on gay marriage was approved by voters, protests and lawsuits by gay marriage proponents show no signs of abating. Indeed, several dozen protesters were on hand outside the Santa Ana hotel where the pro-Prop. 8 press conference was held, and at least two more Orange County protests are planned for the weekend.

Prop. 8 leaders were quick to acknowledge that demonstrations and lawsuits were the right of protesters – but other tactics that were out of bounds.

“What they don’t have the right to do is harass and intimidate people,” said Frank Schubert, director of the Prop. 8 campaign. “They don’t have a right to blacklist and boycott our supporters.”

Schubert listed three businesses that had been boycotted or threatened with boycotts by Prop. 8 foes. Newspaper accounts have specified at least three more. Cinemark Theatres, which has cinemas in Orange County, has also been mentioned as a possible target.

The harassment and boycotts will NOT abate but the fawning MSM will grow tired of covering the inanity and poorly attended protests. And, there will be prosecutions of those deranged individuals who are enegaged in domestic terrorism.

The next blow-up will be when the California Supreme Court fails to overturn Proposition 8 as a “revision” of the California Constitution.

Stay tuned…..
