Same-sex marriage opponents in California are afraid and ashamed to show their faces (illegal, activist)

[AnUnidentifiedMale]

"Sponsors of California's ban on same-sex marriage, which faces a federal court trial in San Francisco next month, have told the trial judge that his suggestion to televise the proceedings is both unwise and illegal.

Television coverage could expose witnesses and other trial participants to harassment and intimidation, backers of Proposition 8 said in a court filing Monday. They said some of their witnesses "have indicated that they would not be willing to testify" if the trial was televised."

Prop. 8 backers say TV coverage of trial unwise

If they're afraid to show their faces, maybe they could wear white sheets to testify - just like the Ku Klux Klan.

As one of the commenters at the end of the article said, "If their position on the issue isn't worth defending publicly, maybe it wasn't really worth having in the first place."

Weird you would bring up the KKK, as 80% plus of the black population voted AGAINST gay marriage. I guess those 80% of black people in California don't believe in equallity for all.

It was just a joke.

They should be afraid and ashamed when they vote against other people and their rights.

The blacks have their own bigot groups.

And yes it should be televised.

They aren't ashamed. They are afraid because of the behavior of the radical, militant, activist gays and their supporters.

You would be too if you had to endure the intimidation and bullying tactics from these people.

It should be televised as long as they can introduce what giving more rights to gays have lead to in the schools like fistgate, handing out pamphlets to teenagers to gay bars for adult child sex, hussein obama's Safe School Czar Jennings and his affiliations with child-adult sex proponents, and so on.
