Guiness Confirms ‘Yes On 8′ Skywriting Campaign Is Biggest Hate Message On Earth
A reader sent Towleroad this snapshot of the sky above Warner Bros. in Burbank, probably the largest and most nausea-inducing “Yes on 8″ sign yet erected in the ongoing, Mormon-underwritten campaign to strip gay Californians of their Constitutional right to marry. Luckily, God got one look at the message and blew it away:
“Just now, leaving work at Warner Brothers in Burbank, CA, I was horrified to see a plane scarring the sky with a ‘vote yes on prop 8′ message, prefaced with something about traditional marriage that was already illegible.
It’s a breezy day out here, so the message was hardly readable for more than a minute or so. Let’s hope the proposition doesn’t even last that long tomorrow morning.”
We’re hearing reports of similar messages appearing in the skies above the Westside, too. As a counterpoint, we offer some blurry footage taken by Defamer video editrix emeritus Molly McAleer of Zooey Deschanel urging concertgoers to vote No On 8.
If you’re still feeling helpless after watching that and want to actively contribute, the No On Prop 8 campaign is accepting last-minute donations that will “fund one million last-minute phone calls to pre-identified No on Prop 8 voters.” Give for what’s right!

You people are so ignorant. That is NOT the biggest hate message on earth. It is a FREE country and if people want to write sky messages they can. You need to learn that Prop 8 has a LOT of support. You can’t accept the fact gay marriage might be illegal again. Homosexual couples already have the SAME rights plus more than hetero couples. They just wouldn’t be able to get married. Look it up in the constitution, you ignorant idiots.
You’re rather missing the point, dearie. “Biggest” is used here in a literal sense. These skywriting messages can be a mile long.
Before you pull the ignorant card, do try to know what you’re talking about. Of course Prop 8 would not change the rights of gay domestic partnerships, although I don’t see what makes you think they get “more rights” than hetero couples. What Prop 8 does is apply a religious definition of marriage to a political institution. I’m all about believing in whatever god you want, but religion and politics should not mix. What about all the good Christians, kind men and women who give to their communities and practice Jesus’ good word, who accept and love and forgive people and all their differences, who just happen to fall in love with the same gender?
“Look it up in the constitution” — that’s the point, it is in the California constitution.
I understand if you don’t believe in gay marriage, but it’s not your right to put that relationship to vote.
I assume you’re not gay… are you married? Mind if we put your marriage to vote, and maybe decide that it should go away?
Lori, with all due respect, your ignorance shouts out as loud as what you are screaming against. Gay couples do NOT have the same rights as hetero couples. Civil unions and/or domestic partnership laws do not afford the same rights as married couples. There are numerous examples of this affecting health care/survivorship/visitation rights, real estate ownership – the list goes on and on. Speak to any qualified attorney and they will be very specific that it is UNTRUE that existing domestic partnership/ civil union laws are identical to gay marriage. There are differences, and the argument to say they are the same is false. Can you imagine saying that the marriages for Christian couples should be treated differently than Buddhist couples, or Muslim couples, or Jewish couples? …Only because you don’t believe in them? That’s why good people are outraged at the arrogance that fellow citizens are actually advocating a split in the way certain groups are handled! Yes, we all understand that there are people who don’t agree with gay marriage, but to try to remove the rights, when the courts have said it is discriminatory, is asinine. This is a pluralistic society. Your right to show indifference towards gays is clear, but doesn’t belong in the State Constitution. Advocating a law to alienate a class of people doesn’t make for a stronger society, it makes for a fragmented one. The U.S. needs to come together, despite our differences. There is a place for people like you AND me here, but prop 8 sends a statement that there isn’t.
Any insitution can define itself to achieve it’s goals.
Society has an interest in promoting children having a mother and a father. Marriage is the way a Mother and Father are bound together legally with their child. All institutions have their standards that allow them to perform their function. One of the main purposes of marriage is to give children an opportunity to have a loving mother and father.
All institutions have their standards. Football teams, educational institutions, the Military. These standards help the institution meet their objectives. Just saying I want in – is no reason to change the standard. Marriage is about providing children with a mother and a father. When a child loses a mother or father through abandonment, or death, we rightly call it a tragedy. Likewise a child never having a Mother or a Father because society decided that 2 men were as good at raising a child as a mother and a father is a tragedy. Which in the raising of a child is not needed the mother or the father?
Those who are single and raise good children do an “exceptional” job. Unfortunately too often it is an exception. But on a whole a child missing a mother or a father is more likely to engage in drug addictions, crime, and be poor.
Thank goodness Arizonan’s had enough sense to think of the good of their children
Lori again. First off, I just wanted to say to defamer I’m sorry for writing ignorant idiots and look it up. That was out of line and I should have never written it. To Nicole, I’m not going to answer your question. And Eric, this isn’t about me, so I’m going to not answer your question as well. And Brian, look up Family Code 297-297.5 in the California constitution and then get back to me on that. And again to defamer, the skywriting campaign isn’t a hate message, it is merely for support. If it was no on 8, I would say “they are just showing there support”. That’s the difference between us. Again, I hope you can forgive me for writing that, and if not, oh well.
You know what broderick balona, YOU can go to hell. Which is probably where you are going anyway. It passed, why can’t people accept that? Now everyone around the country (mostly California) are acting like little freakin 4 year olds. If prop 8 had failed the gays and everyone else would be going “whoo hoo! Power to the people!” And totally bragging that it passed. But the supports of prop 8 are gracious that it passed, and are very humble about it. Everyone needs to realize…life ISN’T FAIR. You won’t get everything you want. Just accept that. Prop 8 will go into law.
