Trial: Prop. 8 supporters show some churches opposed ban

(San Francisco) Lawyers defending California’s gay marriage ban produced campaign fliers and other documents Thursday showing some churches in the state opposed the 2008 ballot measure that established the ban.

Stanford University professor Gary M. Segura spent his second day on the witness stand under cross-examination by David Thompson, a lawyer representing Proposition 8 backers.

Thompson sought to undercut Segura’s earlier testimony that gays are politically powerless in the United States and to show U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker that some churches in the state campaigned against the gay marriage ban.

Gay marriage supporters are trying to demonstrate the campaign behind Proposition 8 was fueled by religious hostility and other animus toward gays.

So because 3% of us campaigned against it that should prove the 97% aren't really bigots at all.
