Rightwingers Tricking Californians Into Opposing Gay Education Bill
The effort to overturn California's FAIR Act, which mandates the teaching of LGBT history and leaders in public schools, is ramping up and conservatives are turning to duplicitous means to get their way.

JoeMyGod obtained video of a gay man in San Diego County who came upon a booth featurning information on Elizabeth Smart, who was abducted as a child. The information booth insinuates that people signing their petition are advocating support for increased penalties against child molesters — they're actually signing a petition to get the FAIR Act, or SB48, overturned at the ballot. Watch the video below.

Watch the video.

1. They tried this with a petition to legalize marijuana too
But instead of signing a petition, you were really registering as a republican.
