The election, and therefore the referendum on gay marriage in California, is mere weeks away and while we've been big, mush-mouthedwhiners when it comes to letting you all know that Gay Marriage isn't really our *deal*--and haven't you heard? monogamy's curable--we've nonetheless stepped up to the plate and reported on it at random moments, just so that you can't say we're haters for the cause.
Here's a quick roundup of what's going down on the marriage front:
The New York Times notes that hitch-happy lesbigays are "rushing to the altar" in advance of the November election, with more gay people married in CA in the last few months than in the four years since it's been legal in Massachusetts.
The backers of Prop 8 currently have an end-run war chest about $10 million bigger than the No on 8 camp. And now the polls may be slipping in the wrong direction, even though just a week ago a small majority still said they'd vote no on the measure. The Yes on 8 people have a new attack ad featuring a snarling GavGav screaming, essentially, "I'm going to shove gay marriage down your throats like I shoved my thick cock down my wife Jennifer's throat on our wedding night." (JK! We have no idea how thick his cock is.) Here's the ad, in case you've missed it:
Consequently the No on 8 people are freaking out and hoping to raise some more money. One pollster says that 20% of CA voters are still undecided, so it could still swing either way.
Meanwhile the fucking Mormons are reaching across state lines and getting ready to recruit Brigham Young University students to participate in phone trees, calling voters and telling them to support Prop 8.
