The Trial Continues:
Today, we saw the introduction of the Prop 8 backers first witnesses (of only 2 that have not dropped out of the case). Prior to that, our side rested after introducing into evidence thousands of documents and other related materials that without any doubt strengthens this case in fundamental ways.
“This evidence is not just a smoking gun. It was an arsenal of incendiary devices directed at the LGBT community and voters. This is how the Prop 8 side won — through fear and lies.”
I wish I had the where-with-all to take all the testimony I’ve read over the past 2 weeks and condense it down to a few paragraphs. Alas, I’ll let others do that for me. The next few days will be quite interesting ans Prop 8 proponents put their witnesses up on the stand to testify. I wish this trial could have been televised. It is so important that what happened in California be made known to the rest of the country and the rest of the world. I still can’t say if things will go our way when this reaches the Supreme Court but I can say that this trial is doing mountains of good for highlighting the discrimination we have faced in this country for decades. It’s very hard to ignore, this trial changes everything.
