Question of the Day: Prop 8 style


Y'all, I feel a mess coming on in Cali.

  • There's some huge disagreements about when to repeal Prop 8 and if we should wait another year or two.

  • Then there's in-fighting between Prepare to Prevail, Equality Calfornia, the Courage Campaign, and Love Honor Cherish about the next steps.

  • The non-support and then wanting to support the federal case to repeal Prop 8.

  • Also we have folks like David Mixner sounding off about different strategies.

With all of this malarkey, I can't help but to think we are our own worst enemy, but here is my question.

As this mess continues to steal the fight from our cause... Are we in danger of losing it all?

Interesting Quote: David Mixner


They don't want us to venture from a proscribed game plan that mostly originates out of a Washington-based political strategy to gain our freedom. They live in fear that we will move too quickly, make someone uncomfortable and put our political friends in a tough spot. Afraid to risk defeat, they believe we have to make everyone like us and be on our side. Most amazingly they seek the approval of others instead of insisting that others have to liberate themselves from their own long held myths in order to receive this marvelous gift that our community brings.

David's Mixner’s response to Prepare to Prevail, a coalition of LGBT groups who believes 2010 is too soon to battle for marriage equality in Cali-Cal.

But is he right?
