back on oct 13, 2008 i posted the blog:

‘ i’m sad today :( ‘

it was about the hundreds of signs that appeared overnight in people’s front yards endorsing the prop 8… a sign carefully crafted to look pleasant, but actually endorsing hate…
…they were literally everywhere…

i did not mention what happened in the next few days… i didn’t feel it was important till now, and i didn’t want to embarrass anybody…
…it appears these signs were not put up by any of these families or my neighbors…

the church had handed out fistfuls of these ‘yes’ and ‘smiling family dancing’ signs to people, and just told them to put them up in their neighbors yards…
they did not even explain what the signs were for

when people woke the next morning to find the signs in their yards they either took them down, or just stuck them into their neighbors yard (whom also had a sign posted)…

…this continued for a few days until the signs all but disappeared…

after a week, the only signs to be found were on just one house and on one church yard in my neighborhood …they were literally hundreds of these signs in their yards…

…so at first it looked like everyone wanted this prop 8…
but no… it was only one church and one house in my neighborhood


so then Election Day rolls around, and guess where the polling is taking place? in the church covered with ‘ yes on 8 signs ‘
i called the election board the morning of the election to mention that this polling place was covered with endorsement signs…
they told me that many people had already called, and they were just so busy going all over the Los Angeles area taking these signs down from the polling places…

they were not pressing charges because it was just a church’s 'misunderstanding' about the laws governing such things

the signs i called about were eventually taken down…
...from about 4:30pm to 6:00pm - after most of my district had already voted…

when asked about it after the voting process, lots of people mentioned they had voted for 8 without ever knowing what it was about… these people were upset that their church had mislead and even lied to them, just to get the vote.
people started leaving these church congregations soon afterwards…

this church has broken many of its own beliefs just to propagate hate, and pushed its congregations to improperly follow suit… it broke many laws


i’m mentioning it now because '8' is now up for review, and the church is still yelling and lying about this removing of people’s rights…

if you read this and are a little confused by what your religion tells you is right,

… just think…

What Would Jesus Do…
