I guess we’ll have to wait for the movie to know what happened.  Bet it was delicious.

No, not to Obama (or me). Who really needs your money is the organization fighting Proposition 8 in California.  If passed, Prop 8 will invalidate all same-sex marriages in California and change the state’s Constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry there at any point in the future.  The polls currently show a statistical tie.

The Yes On 8 forces are being bankrolled by the fucking Mormons…sorry…the “LDS church” to the tune of $20 million dollars.  Do you think our laws should be dictated by a bunch of cultists in Utah?

Andrew Sullivan wants Barack Obama to come out with an ad against Proposition 8, the California Ballot Initiative that would, if passed, change the California Constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry in California and invalidate the marriages that had happened there so far.

Black Californians back the anti-gay measure by a margin of 20 points, 58 - 38, in the SUSA poll. No other ethnic group comes close to the level of opposition and black turnout is likely to be very high next month. [snip] Memo to Obama: make an ad. Speak loudly. Defend equality. Defend it when it might actually lose you some votes. Show us you are not another Clinton.

Obama has already shown that he’s not another Clinton by openly speaking out against this pernicious initiative.  What he is not obligated to do is make gay marriage the focus of the last two weeks of the presidential campaign.  Gay marriage will ultimately prevail in California and elsewhere, regardless with what happens with Prop 8.  And gay rights will certainly be better served by an Obama Administration than a McCain Administration.

So let Oprah, Morgan Freeman, Will Smith and Kobe Bryant make an ad (and throw in Governor Schwarzenegger, who is also against it, for good measure).  At this stage, Obama’s only responsibility is to win the Presidential election.  Period.
