Hey, Gays: Kick This Asshole To The Curb!!!

You want to know why Prop. 8 lost? This asshole is why Prop. 8 lost. The same arrogance that drove Gavin Newsom to sleep with his best friend's wife drove him to scream, "Whether you like it or not!", and neither one of those actions was good for defending marriage in anyone's eyes. The man is hopeless. Ladies and Gentlemen, you've got the wrong standard bearer and there's no getting around that. Boo him - shun him - use him to let people know you "get" it. Otherwise you'll be associated with the same slime he represents. That's how politics works.

On the bright side, this loss means Gavin Newsom should know he can't be Governor of California, and that's a "good" for everyone. Let's finally put his dumb ass out to political pasture and get to work on moving this country forward. What does that mean? It should mean that Gays get off the focus of religion and find out what's really bothering the opposition - like all the years the Gay Movement was anti-marriage and and actively worked to damage the institution. Nobody's forgotten that and there's a lot of distrust around it. Always acting like "Everyone's a little bit Gay" is another point of contention. That kind of idiotic nonsense has to stop. Maybe consider a public apology as a (first) olive branch. If you're not willing to go that far then you can't be serious about uniting the country around issues with you. There's more to politics than rebelling, y'now. And you never know:

It can't hurt more than what just happened.

Good luck.

Gays need friends - and straights want a more honest dialogue - but few are going to get both without the ascendency of:
