I'm not sure but I think I understand MJ's insistence on pursuing the topic of this
initiative concerning gays. I was living in California when prop.8 was placed on the ballot. As
I was, at the time, around a great many gay people, I could not help but notice a complete absence of
panic or fear within the gay community over the proposition. It hardly made dinner table
conversation. I felt a certain amount of uneasiness as I even heard a few people declare it
a "slam dunk" in favor of gay marriage. Having a few years on most of them and having grown up
in the Mormon church and all too familiar with the rabid dedication they exhibit when trying
to influence government initiatives such as proposition 8 I have learned all to well, that first,
nothing in life is a slam dunk, and very little is beyond the realm of possibility.
That being said, however, Possibility and probability are two different words. The secret, I think,
is to focus on it while it is only a possibility and significantly lower or eradicate the
probability of something so evil ever gaining any momentum or credibility
If history serves, we can see all too many cases of one crackpot attempting to decimate a group
of people and no one believing it could possibly happen. But it did.
This is not a gay issue, it should concern every person because it is actually a human rights
issue. What the man is proposing is the same as a genocide.
