Abstract: Supporters of Proposition 8 in California have been subjected to harassment, intimidation, vandalism, racial scapegoating, blacklisting, loss of employment, economic hardships, angry protests, violence, at least one death threat, and gross expressions of anti-religious bigotry. Arguments for same-sex marriage are based fundamentally on the idea that limiting marriage to the union of husband and wife is a form of bigotry, irrational prejudice, and even hatred against homosexual persons. As this ideology seeps into the culture more generally, individuals and institutions that support marriage as the union of husband and wife risk paying a price for that belief in many legal, social, economic, and cultural contexts.
Support for Proposition 8, the democratically established marriage amendment in California, has come with a heavy price for many individuals and institutions that think that marriage should remain the union of husband and wife. Publicly available sources, including evidence submitted in a federal lawsuit in California,[1] show that expressions of support for Prop 8 have generated a range of hostilities and harms that includes harassment, intimidation, vandalism, racial scapegoating, blacklisting, loss of employment, economic hardships, angry protests, violence, at least one death threat, and gross expressions of anti-religious bigotry. Because the issue of marriage is still very much alive in California and throughout the nation,[2] the naked animus manifested against people and groups that supported Prop 8 raises serious questions that should concern anyone interested in promoting civil society, democratic processes, and reasoned discourse on important matters of public policy, such as marriage.

Supporters=Voting Majority
And the supporters of homosexual marriage have started gathering signatures to put marriage back on the ballot again in 2010. So we’re probably going to go through this campaign again.
I recommend reading the entire piece; it is well-written, extensively documented, and coherently organized. Be warned though, it will make you angry.
If the perversionphiles' proposition does not win, they will be exceedingly vile and violent towards those who want to maintain the true meaning of marriage - making Prop 8 look like a picnic. If they do win, it will be settled for good in their minds.
I take that back. If they win they will still terrorize those who support traditional marriage with diabolical, Nazi tactics.
The homoFascists in America have been given waaaaay too much power. And politician, celebrity, educator and media hack who’s been their ally in pushing their perverted agenda is going to BURN IN HELL!
Prop 8 should have no price that should not be repaid by the anarchists. That they have gotten away with so much is deplorable.
