- Matt Gurney: California's gay marriage vote sparks retribution
-
While America marked the dawn of the Obama era last Tuesday, in California, homosexual rights advocates were coming to terms with the passing of Proposition 8, which calls for the state's constitution to be amended to explicitly make marriage legal only between a man and a woman.
Amid the protests and reports of churches being vandalized, one man has come to serve as a focal point for the anger of Proposition 8's opponents. Scott Eckern, the former artistic director of the California Musical Theater, made a $1000 donation to the Yes on Proposition 8 campaign. This donation, part of California's public record, was discovered by a business associate, who published the information online. From there, news of Eckern's donation was quickly spread by various blogs, including the tremendously popular perezhilton.com celebrity gossip site. A storm of controversy rapidly developed around Eckern's donation in support of banning gay marriage, with calls for a boycott of Eckern's theater and expressions of shock and betrayal by those who had worked with him. This sense of betrayal was apparently rooted in the notion that as someone involved in theatre, Eckern must have worked closely with gays and should therefore be sympathetic.

Poor Losers Perchance?????
It must be a surprise that one of the "chosen" groups would be pissed off when they perceive one of their "rights" has been trampled on....we know how tolerant they are of others who make disparaging remarks, use "offensive" slang or a multitude of other sins where the end result is a public apology usually coupled with a loss of livelihood.
