Isn’t
California the state that mandates including LGBT achievements in its
curricula, but prohibits anything negative about homosexuals?
No wonder
the event was one-sided.
The Los Angeles Times noted:
The entire evening Friday was weighted strongly in favor of gay marriage. The audience cheered an actor who acknowledged during the panel that he is gay. No panelist represented a view against gay marriage.
More from
LA Times:
The price of admission to last weekend's play at El Camino Real Charter High School was anything but typical. Then again, neither was the play.
Students had to submit essays describing their views on gay marriage. The play, "8," dramatizes the 2010 trial that overturned California's ban on gay marriage. El Camino's production was probably the first time it has been performed by a high school cast, a main reason why author Dustin Lance Black attended and participated in a discussion afterward.
Ultimately theatre director Sue Freitag granted admission to all students who wished to attend the
play regardless of whether they wrote an essay.
You should read the transcript, Fran. The Proponents of Prop 8 could only muster 2 witnesses, one of whom admitted under oath that gay marriage would be very beneficial to gay couples and could help reduce the animosity gay couples face each and everyday from people such as yourself.
ReplyDeleteQuit trying to play like California is biased in this. The reality is that the trial itself was so one-sided because no one wanted to testify under oath for Prop 8. Not Brian Brown, not Maggie Gallagher, not Peter Sprigg, not Tony Perkins.
