This Week In Gayness: Guy Attacked At Proposition 8 Protest

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

There was too much gay sex in the Howard Stern Public Restroom, so the State of New Jersey is shutting it down.

The Church of England may be getting soft: the pastor who carried out an unauthorized gay marriage will not be censured.

Here's a weird one for ya. A guy was arrested after a foot chase during which he stripped off his clothing. The photographer turns out to have been taking pictures of kids on behalf of... an anti-gay website. Wha?

Check out this complete assface who blatantly steals "No On Prop 8" signs and then assaults a guy who tries to stop him. Then the accused jerk, a Ken Mettler, says he was "acting in self-defense." Apparently, trying to get your signs back is now an "attack."

Here's the full video:

 

Meanwhile, Samuel L. Jackson says he is against Prop 8, which should help with the state's African-American vote.

And two elderly gay men were murdered in their Indianapolis home. Friends say both were targeted for months-- their power lines were cut and homophobic graffiti was found on the property.

In case you guys were unaware, Mettler is a president of the Bakersfield Republican Assembly, not just a random "jerk".

That video is an embarrassment to the "no on 8" movement. Those signs were "yes on 8" signs that have a sticker put on them to change it to "no". I can't believe I am defending a gay-hating evangelical christian, but I feel that he had every right to take back the signs that his side paid for that those {foul-mouthed} kids defaced. Also, unfortunately, it looked entirely like self defense to me. Granted, the video quality is poor, but still... We aren't going to win this battle by acting like inflammatory, ignorant assholes. I have friends that work very hard on the "no on 8" campaign and it is the agreement this morning that these people are a detriment to that campaign.
