Celebs Rally Against Prop 8 In Hollywood!

Last night, thousands of protesters hit the streets of Los Angeles (moving from West Hollywood to Hollywood) to protest the California Supreme Court's decision to uphold Prop 8, which bans gay marriage in the state. Drew Barrymore, Kathy Griffin, Pete Wentz, Shanna Moakler, Eliza Dushku, Haylie Duff, Emmy Rossum, Mark Hoppus, Kelly Osbourne and Sophia Bush were among the celebs that attended the rally, and Drew even took the podium at one point during the night.

Though the court's ruling yesterday was very disappointing for a lot of us, we remain confident that this battle will be won in the next few years - denying citizens their civil rights is not what this country is about, and there are millions of Americans who are going to fight this until it's changed.




C'mon California, get your sh*t together! As Aniston would say, this is "totally uncool."

Agreed! I myself am 100% heterosexual. But I believe in equal rights for EVERYONE!! Our founding fathers recognized an ever changing civilization. And wrote the declaration of independence to protect new thoughts & ideas. And this is precisely one. We as human beings have to progress, not regress. How are our children supposed to stop the hate when they are shown that people aren't equal & don't get/deserve equal rights? We need to change this. Let our children know for their future, that people are equal!

Wow, out of the 10 celebs who showed up only 2 were male. What's wrong with this picture, gay Hollywood?



Posted by: Str8 W/O H8

Nice post 7:55!!! Also straight too and finding it very hard to believe that this is even being talked about now? I thought we would have figured this out in the 60s, when civil rights were finally sorted out...for some. Sorry fear mongering homophobes, the world won't crumble if everyone is given civil rights equally. It's just a matter of time anyway and the world is evolving even if you aren't!

I see nothing wrong w/da person u fall in love with.

If some guy wants to marry another guy, or a woman whats to marry another woman. Who gives a crap. Let them do what they want. Damn there are alot more problems in the world people should care about.

I also believe it equal rights. I don't agree with making this public. California is the only state who continues to make this such a big deal. I'm all for doing what you want, but keep it to yourself. This country is screwed up because people can't keep their mouth shut and mind their own business. It's like skinny people marching against fat people. Let the fat people continue their own lifestyle and mind your own business. I don't need this filth clogging up my news hour!

For years, the gays screamed that being gay was not a choice. Finally, they prove that there is something wrong with the brains of gays. Just like we don't let schizophrenics run around without meds and we look for a cure, the same should be for the gays. The people of California have spoken and we don't want it here! It's immoral, sick and wrong. If tab A doesn't fit into slot B then it's not marriage. Marriage is a union between a man and a woman. Any others like men with men (sticking things into where the other defecate, yeah that's sex NOT) or women with women (what do they use? bottles sticks?) is wrong and always will be.

Hollywood is 85% gay and overwhelmingly run my men, for example how many female directors are there? But out gay men in Hollywood, few and far between. And there's definitely no out leading men in films. Yet Hollywood wants to be on the cutting edge of society and the arts but they won't speak up and fight. Ironic isn't it. Hollywood gays must have a lot of self-hate.

yeah i personally dont believe gays should be allowed to get married because its wrong and its going against GOD. This world is changing for the worst. I dont understand how somebody could fall in love with the same sex thats just so disgusting to me.

8:31 THANK YOU!! And what's next...marrying your pets? Marrying your cousins, brothers, sisters and so on! Where does it end? This in your face crap is ridiculous! Why should I have to tolerate public displays of two men or 1 woman and a butch bulldagger making out, holding hands, whatever! And my kids should not have to either. If these people want to be gay, fine, but don't try to push your b.s. off on others, especially children! You cannot force people to accept what is not logical, what is not acceptable. Should we just rip up the constitution, or should be change it everytime someone feels it's their right to anything? I ask you, where does it end?



Posted by: Anonymous

Why would these people want to be where they are not wanted? The people of California have voted, let it go! Go to Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, Massachusetts or Maine...they'll accept you there, with open asses/veejayjays...I'm sure!!!! Take the gay population in the city of San Francisco with you! Ellen DeGeneres is relocating all on her dime!!!

WHY DOES ANYONE WANT TO MARRY ANYWAY!!

If people want to get married, they should be allowed to marry the person they choose to marry. LSD above is right!

Where are the pictures of Perez Hilton? He was there, too. Oh yeah, he's your competition, right?



Posted by: Eye Opener

First off....why do the gays have to "act" like.....WOMEN!!! Come on! The minute someone comes out of the closet...their flying their hands around, talking with a lisp, looking like nasty freaks!!! WHY???

Maybe I missed the part that IF YOU ARE REALLY BORN THAT WAY.....it shouldn't mean you change the second you declare!!

PLUS ALL THAT IS JUST PLAIN - D I S G U S T I N G AND SINFUL!!!

So to all those that can't find love with the opposite sex?? Maybe if you prayed and waited, and it was meant to be yours to find - IT WILL COME - But I doubt it was meant to be an "Adam" and "StEVE"...

THAT'S WHY A WHOLE GENERATION COMING BEHIND US - WILL CRAVE THE END OF THE WORLD!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

BAN 'EM ALL!!

PS: Go try this "stunt" in Cuba will yah? SEE WHAT CASTRO THINGS ABOUT IT?....

AMERICA'S CONSTITUTION IS BECOMING A MOCKERY, CUZ FOLKS IF YOUR FORE FATHERS WANTED GAYS TO MARRY - THEY WOULD HAVE INCLUDED THAT - BUT I GUESS NO ONE WAS "GAY" BACK THEN HUH?!

GAYS ARE LAZY - SO LAZY THEY DON'T EVEN WANT TO LEARN ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SEX AND HOW TO PLEASE THEM!!!

VOTE YES - ON NO MORE GENERATION TERRORISM (WE MUST PROCREATE)!!

IMAGINE IF DOGS MATED WITH MICE - WOULDN'T BE TOO NICE TO SEE RIGHT??!!!

VOTE YES!

Some comments from the homophobes on this page, kind of make a valid point. Yes - it is the gay/lesbians business & it should be kept that way. And my guess is that it wouldn't be an issue if the same rights were granted to them as it is to heterosexuals. And this bit about being gay is immoral? HA!!! That's the biggest hypocritical remark ever said. I thought loving your fellow man in every which way was the 'Christian' thing to do. I'll tell you what's crazy: following the words from a book that has been re-written many times over to fit one's lifestyle. Come on! I guess these people still believe in the tooth fairy too, huh? I'm obviously not a religious person, but you don't see me crying out "why the hell is your religion being forced upon me everyday?" In my schools, on my money, in my liquor stores (yes, they are the reason why we can't buy alcohol on Sundays before noon). Why? Because I don't care. It's not that big of deal! But it is YOUR RIGHT to do & think whatever it is you want to, because we have THAT right! BTW: Yes there are MANY more important issues going on in the world today, that is unless you are gay. Straights - you would be doing the same thing these people are doing if the shoe was on the other foot & you know it!



Posted by: Eye Opener

LSD - YOUR NAMES SAYS IT ALL!!!

IT'S SAD WHEN YOU MOCK A BOOK THAT HAS BEEN PROTECTED FOR CENTURIES - wonder why they did??!!

Anyway - I'll leave that between you and God to figure out!!!

And shhhh I don't believe in the fairy anymore - but don't tell me there ain't no Santa Clause!!! ;)

Hey Eye Opener - why not get rid of the jews & blacks while your at it, right? Come on, come on - I only kid. We can't forget the mexicans either, can we? Seriously? I can't blame you for the way you think. This kind of bible blahbber has been pounded into your head since you were a child most likely. So forget about logic & throw out basic common sense, right? Just go with the flow & hate anyone who doesn't go along with your 'book',right? You know what they say, people fear what they don't understand.

Gays/Lesbians DO NOT deserve the right to be married like A MAN AND WOMAN HAVE b/c that is what it is supposed to be for, not man and man or woman and woman...What next, you wanna take your dog to the courthouse and get married. It is just plain wrong and IT IS AGAINST GOD. Why don't these gays/lesbians think about their afterlife a little more than wanting to get married...



Posted by: Anonymous

To bad these Celebrities do not care about the important issues going on in the world today. No lets all be concerned about a stupid piece of paper that says we are married. Get a freakin life. If you love the person you are with, why the hell does a little piece of paper mean so much to you. Get over it already and focus on important issues like world hunger and our men and women dieing for our freedom over seas. Stupid Homos.

TO ALL THE BIBLE THUMPERS OUT THERE, CHECK OUT GENESIS CHAPTER 19, VER. 5-8, I DON'T THINK THAT GOD WROTE A BOOK THAT SAYS IT IS ALRIGHT TO BE PROSTITUTING YOUR CHILDREN BUT IT IS NOT ALRIGHT TO BE GAY. ANYONE?

Posted by: Eye Opener

Karma..

It was much appreciated that you would share that passage of scripture with us.

Let me say, from reading these passages - it is clear that the world has suffered a long time with demons among us. I am not a pastor or prophet - I am a christian who whole heartedly believes in the Bible's scriptures.

Being gay is NOT something God has created but just another SODOM and GOMORRAH sinful trait passed on by the
handy work of sin/temptation.

I will always believe in that.

And even if my OWN children were to come to me saying they were gay - I would love them but HATE the sin. However I would just continue to pray for their release from the hands of Satan and probably douse them with a 100 gallons of HOLY WATER for good measure!! :)

No matter how people interpret the Bible - it still is a revered Holy Book that obiviously has been studied for CENTURIES by scholars etc..

IF THE BIBLE DID NOT HOLD THE KIND OF SIGNIFICANCE THAT IT DOES -

WHY SWEAR IN A HISTORIC PRESIDENT WITH A BIBLE THAT ONCE BELONGED TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN! SAYS SOMETHING DOESN'T IT?

I THINK MAYBE RATHER THAN FIGHT FOR SATAN MAYBE IT WOULD BE BETTER IF THESE PEOPLE JOINED IN PRAYER THAT N. KOREA DOESN'T NUKE AMERICA! THAT'S WHERE THEIR ENERGY SHOULD BE SPENT...

LET ME GO SAY A PRAYER.....

GOOD NIGHT

And there are millions of us that will fight against gay marriage to the end. If you choose that lifestyle, whatever...but marriage is for man and wife.



Posted by: Publius

Regardless what side you support, the Supreme Court did the right thing in upholding the rule of law. Disagreeing with the principle of a law does not allow the Court to overturn a referendum of the people. That's where facism comes from. WAY TO GO, CALI SUPREME COURT! YOU FOLLOWED THE RULES FOR A CHANGE!!

I think homosexuals should create their own form of Marriage and using the "G" in gay call it "Garriage" instead. A "Garriage" would be perfect for reversing into and would be built for rear entry. It would stop all thoase stupid christian nazis from complaining.



Posted by: Anonymous

Horay, for the Californis supreme court and their decision. Hope all Americans will stand by that good choice. Homosexuality is a grievious abomination. It is not a right; to say it is, is to allow perverts to educate our children and that is wrong. Look at our schools today, they took the teaching and respect of God out of our schools and in place they put sex education. Now, look at all the problems we have. Any so called right that is above God is not a right, it is sin and sin brings forth death.



Posted by: B.P

all you people using religion as a vehicle for hate and detest should be ashamed of yourself. I am a heterosexual male with a gay brother and It just makes me sad that the world is still filled with these insecure, small minded delinquents... Seriously, spare the world from your hate there is enough already going around.

Um, Karma what are you talking about? Lot was the one who tried to do that to his daughters to protect the angels. God did not say that it was okay. And God did destroy the city of Sodom. So shouldn't that answer your question about that?

i love how people call people "Bible thumpers" and use the same few old testament examples. Christianity is built on a system of love if you only knew. Hate the sin, love the sinner. This is all so sad to me... ignorance.

Being gay is so unnatural! Male and female anatomy is like perfect fitting puzzles. Ones that allow children to be born to a stable household with a male and female. Messing with the system the way it's SUPPOSED to be is just wrong.

Even if the homosexual get their way and they're alllowed to play house for a while. Armageddon" will get them. The bible promises, "And just a little while longer and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be.

Firstly, God's ultimate message was not for humans to decide what one another should do - they are to decide for THEMSELVES and ONLY themselves. It is for HIM to decide what is right and what is wrong, not us humans.

I am an agnostic, not a Christian of any form, although I am a researcher of many theologies. Across the board, that is the ultimate message from any religion. Extremists are to blame for the misinterpretation that ignorance passed down through generations begets.

Anyway, before I got sparky with the haters, I just wanted to say that love is beautiful in whatever form it takes between consenting adults. When you have lived a longer life than you could ever consciously comprehend (i.e. your soul endures many experiences in your lifetime or you have the wisdom that comes with acceptance and quiet observation, "an old soul"), you can recognize that the body is but a shell for one's soul, therefore it cannot always accurately depict our soul, which is ultimately genderless; for all intents and purposes androgynous in that in the end we are all alike in one way or another. No one thing can be inherently "male" or inherently "female."



Posted by: superchicken

Well, by definition, anybody that would support a "homosexual" agenda is agnostic or atheist or whatever the flavour of the month is. It's a bit like calling yourself a "pro choice catholic" .. you can call yourself anything you like but it carries no substance.

Similarly, "homosexuals" can attempt to go through the charade of marriage the same way someone can marry their cat.. It may serve a purpose to help one continue along a delusional course but it carries no substantive purpose or higher meaning.

So similarly, I don't recognise "homosexuality" as anything particularly sexual in any way. There is sexual activity certainly just as there is in rape (although at least with rape there is the possibility of conception). So called "homosexuality" appears to be an activity of a an undeveloped or underdeveloped sexuality that is unable to be expressed .. a kind of a hybrid behaviour of frustrations, fantasies and perversions that they can't escape from for whatever the reason.

Of course people are going to do as they are going to do. There is no "love" or "hate" involved with any of it. In the end you're left with the soul numbing, education lacking, liberal indoctrinated concept of "gay marriage" being forced upon an unsuspecting citizenry who are too tired trying to figure out how to make their mortgage payments to be able to deal with.

Hollywood preys upon and defines itself by such ignorance. This website is a testament to that.

Homosexuality is a sign of a decaying
society; it isn't new. There are practising homosexuals in all walks of life; Dr., Lawyers,Judges, Religion,Politics, Etc... It's all sex based and it's all contrary to God's will. Men acting like women, women acting like men. It's perversion, rotten to the core. I also have nephews and cousins that are homosexuals; they were all sexually abused as young children by perverted men; Don't tell me that's normal, because perverts prey upon children. Was the Sodom and Gammorra cities a worse judgement than the flood of Noah ? Well, the Tribulation will be worse than the flood and not just because of homosexuality. It's true !
