The Outing of Proposition 8

Life is hysterically funny and deadly serious all at the same time. For years, LGBT people have had to decide to "come out," remain "in the closet," and/or risk being "outed."

As the battle heats up for and against proposition 8, the "outing" has started. All supporters with donation amounts both for and against Prop 8 are available online. So all you closet homophobs, you've just been "outed." And all of you slackers, get your donations in today or risk this fate:

First they came for the Communists,
      and I didn’t speak up,
          because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
      and I didn’t speak up,
          because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
      and I didn’t speak up,
          because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
      and by that time there was no one
          left to speak up for me.

This is way too cool. Find OUT about your friends and neighbors here. Don't you just love the irony?
