Don't try to understand what they mean; there is no logic in their ad, only fear mongering.<br /><br />PS: regarding your comment, John... It's sexual orientation, not sexual preference. I prefer chocolate ice cream, but I'll happily settle for vanilla if we're out of chocolate. I don't "prefer" men; it's my orientation.Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13176100.post-47742913806830750042009-04-12T18:57:00.000-07:002009-04-12T18:57:00.000-07:00I'm not sure the commercial is talking about any k...I'm not sure the commercial is talking about any kind of digital stalking of Prop 8 supporters - as best I've been able to piece together, some CA doctor didn't want to help a lesbian with in-vitro fertilization purely because of her sexual preference.<BR/><BR/>Which in my opinion is rather silly. If you don't mind helping a single mother get knocked up via turkey baster, then a lesbian one isn't any worse.John Hummelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261544097319634632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13176100.post-10974245793852886042009-04-12T18:27:00.000-07:002009-04-12T18:27:00.000-07:00It's a shame Prop 8 passed, but I wouldn't be so c...It's a shame Prop 8 passed, but I wouldn't be so cavalier about the coordinated attack on its supporters. "Public" information being available to a dedicated researcher digging in state records and a mass-distributed hitlist made possible by Google Maps are very different things. However wrong Prop 8's supporters may be, they're still private citizens, entitled to their own opinions, without being subject to a digital lynching. It wasn't just an "inconvenience", it was scary.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18062401973227113019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13176100.post-9479516252386865542009-04-11T18:08:00.000-07:002009-04-11T18:08:00.000-07:00I can't be sure, but they're probably talking abou...I can't be sure, but they're probably talking about how if you publicly support banning gay marriage, or give money to organizations that try to ban it, there have been cases where people stopped coming to you and giving you money for your services. I do know there was a huge furor over this a few months ago, when a lot of this happened after prop 8 passed. Apparently, many of these people didn't realize that they might actually have to be inconvenienced by consequences for their actions. I think that some of them even tried saying that listing organizations and people who did donate money to pro-prop 8 organizations (publicly available information) should be illegal, but I can't swear to that.mfoleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17115091151564659110noreply@blogger.com
