I made this video the day after the CA SCt upheld Proposition 8. I found a video saying that California was safer from wildfires now that same-sex marriage was banned, and I looked for other religious folks who felt natural disasters were caused by GLBTQ folks.

Making this video has left me drained, speechless and sad. I am triracial: African American, Native American and various flavors of European American. Although we're triracial, my family and I primarily identify as African American. Many have claimed that African Americans do not like to have comparisons drawn between the GLBTQ civil rights movement and the African-American civil rights movement. Speaking as an African American, the comparison holds true. The history of discrimination may be be different, but the effects of hatred, bigotry and bias are the same.
