i'm not trying to be an asshole... it comes naturally

[rone]

A Yes on 8 sign has appeared on our neighbors' lawn.  My first reaction was to try to get a hold of a No on 8 sign and put it on our lawn.  Note that we like our neighbors and that, despite being really Jesusy, they're not pushy in the least about it beyond offering to pray for us in our endeavors (like when i mentioned i was going for a job interview) and wishing that God bless us, which fifteen years ago would have had me seething, but now i don't mind at all because i'm not that much of an asshole anymore.

The way things are going, it looks like Ecuador will have same-sex marriage before the US will.  Who saw that coming?

Put up another 'Yes on 8' sign next to the existing one, connected with a rainbow-flag lei, then put a sign up on your lawn that says 'God hates Same Sign Marriage! Leviticus 8:12'.

More seriously, if you don't put up a sign, you will appear complicit. If you feel strongly about it, put up a sign to say what you think is right and show passers by that not everyone in your neighbourhood has a problem with same-sex marriage. Something neutral like 'Religious intolerance not practised here' or 'Shrimp, homosexuals, people in two different fabrics and menstruating women welcome here. Not so fast, proposition 8!'

(Possibly that is slightly contentious...)
