My roommate and a bunch of my homies are in Fresno, CA this weekend to protest the CA Supreme Court Decision on Prop 8, including our fellow bloger Teresa and her lovely wife Melissa.  They're at "Meet in the Middle 4 Equality".  While I can't be there with them (I'm in NYC for my brother's portrayal of Romeo in La Teatro La Tea's production of Romeo and Juliet), I wanted to post an entry as an ally about Prop 8. I saw this PSA for the "No H8" campaign recently posted by friends on Facebook featuring Tila Tequila and Amy Hill, and I've been meaning to post some reflections about it, especially about Tila Tequila's apparent entree into politics, but really just couldn't top the observations offered by DISGRASIAN.  So, here's the cross-post...

Originally published by DISGRASIAN:

I think it's wonderful that Tila Tequila is finally doing something with her celebrity, by appearing in a NoH8 PSA released this week in response to the CA Supreme Court's disappointing ruling on Prop 8 and blogging her support for gay marriage (for which she has received quite a bit of grief, see below).

Does this signal the dawn of a new-and-improved Tila Tequila? Well, after reading Tila's blog post, "My Thoughts on Prop 8 Situation," and her Tweets that followed, I can confidently conclude the following:

Tila's a MARTYR FOR THE CAUSE!

The first thing I did was make a few tweets about it on my twitter page(www.twitter.com/OfficialTila). Immediately, I received an outpouring response from angry people. I felt as though I was being burnt as stake or beheaded for voicing my opinions, and I still stand tall in my beliefs. I guess times have not changed much because I very much so believe that this is TODAY's version of "beheading" someone. Some people even had the nerve to call me "RACIST" for whatever their reasoning is just because I was disapointed in PRESIDENT OBAMA in his decisions for not supporting Gay Marriages.--from Tila's post, "My Thoughts on Prop 8 Situation," reposted to Global Grind

She's the VOICE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

Now may I ask you all, what is the point of being in the "PUBLIC EYE" if you don't have a voice or use that medium and take advantage of that outlet to speak your mind? I am not trying to harm anyone, nor am I trying to start a War. I am simply trying to voice my opinions on why I believe it is important for all human beings to have Equal rights. No where else in this world can I come to a new country as an immigrant, and yet be able to build a platform for myself, becoming an AMERICAN CITIZEN and having the ULTIMATE AMERCAN DREAM! Where else in this world can I enjoy such fresh freedom such as I do here? Only in AMERICA!--from "My Thoughts on Prop 8 Situation," reposted to Global Grind

She's a PARAGON OF COHERENCE!


She's a NY TIMES READER!


She's a FUTURE REPUBLICAN!


She's...she's...

Wait, what were we talking about here? Something having to do with gay marriage? I got so distracted thinking about martyrs, beheadings, Joan of Arc, the fact that I haven't read the NY Times today (unlike some other very smart people), and tooting one's own horn, I totally spaced on the real subject at hand.
