Bombshell Testimony! Anti-Gay Marriage Defendants Pulled By Pro-Prop 8 Side Because?…
Seems pretty clear to me. Here are the video depositions of two witnesses the pro-Prop 8 folks pulled, stating they feared for their safety from pro-gay marriage activists. Seems to me their testimony here, had it been given in court, would have handed us a win.
Some excerpts:
Katherine Young Deposition
Q – And that prejudice and discrimination, again, like the prejudice and discrimination against gay and lesbians, was often justified by religion, correct?
A – Yes.
Paul Nathanson Deposition
Q – Now, using opinion in the sense that you do as a researcher, do you have an opinion as to whether permitting gay people to marry increases the stability in commitment of their relationship?
A – It increases.
Q – It increases the stability in commitment of their relationship?
A – That’s right.
Q – As a researcher, using the term “opinion†the way you defined it, do you have an opinion as to whether permitting gay people to marry increases their happiness and sense of security and well-being?
Mr. PETER A.PATTERSON: Objection, this is beyond the scope of his expert report.
A – I think it does.
The videos have been posted and pulled from YouTube, and are no longer embedable, but you can easily watch them on the Perry vs. Schwarzenegger YouTube channel.
