Two Videos about the Prop 8 Trial

So this post will be short, but it includes a couple of videos that you should all watch if you don't like to read all the stuff I've posted on Prop 8 in the past.

The first one is the entire history of Prop 8 in less than 5 minutes from Matt Baume. I'd give you a link to his site, but unfortunately I don't have one.



The second one is from Rob Tisinai and explains why you should fight against marriage equality.



Both videos are pretty great.

Post Trial Press Conference

Just ran across this press conference after the Prop 8 trial wrapped witness testimony. Thought it might be interesting to some of you, so here it is.

Boies and Olson on PBS

David Boies and Ted Olson, the lawyers that teamed up to challenge Prop 8 in court, were in Bill Moyers' PBS program The Nation. It's a 40+ minute interview and was very powerful.

I hope you can watch the embedded video here, but just in case that's not working for you, you can head over to PBS.org to have a look.

So if you would rather watch or listen to the Prop 8 trial, rather than slogging through the transcripts, you can go to this website to watch it!

This outfit put together a team of actors, and using the transcripts, have been filming a re-enactment of the trial. The trailer for what you can expect is embedded below:

Anti-Marriage Equality Experts

Very soon we'll be treated to the witnesses for the defenders of Prop 8, the ones who think that gays being allowed to get married is super bad.

Several of the planned witnesses have been withdrawn, and we've been informed it is because the evil gays are so scary that they are scared for their lives. I know we are a big monolithic scary bunch who have no control over our desires to kill people, so I can see why this might be true.

Today over at Towleroad, depositions from two of the withdrawn witnesses was posted. I'm finding out that the reason we have been told by the Prop 8 supporters might have been a big pack of lies.

Watch these videos of two of the witnesses in favor of continued discrimination, and then try to explain to me, after the answer they gave, what state interest there possibly could be for the continued discrimination against gays and lesbians.
