The defense, the Prop. 8 side is introducing their documents and videos that they'll use in their presentation. They are already objecting to the use of a lot of their own documents in the trial because they're so bad.
But they just showed this video in court. From the Trial Tracker liveblog:
(Screen is blank, but hearing stuff)...Saying that kindergarten books are already out there showing that kids in kindergarten are being to be homo.
Compare this to 9.11. How does this directly affect us? I did not know planes would crash into building. Change of marriage is same sort of thing. If Prop. 8 passes (sic), it’s like 9.11.
For the record, here's the whole video transcript:
Shows 6 minutes of Pastor Jim and Tony Perkins and others. Roberto Miranda, Lion of Judah Church of Boston, says, "Polygamists are waiting in the wings! If we have same sex marriage, we’ll have polygamy next." Perkins video from US Capitol. People all over America do not understand implications of same sex marriage. Destroys foundation of marriage. Here I’m visiting couple in Mass where they show book that shows child being introduced to Clifford and his same sex partner.
Miranda says that governor of mass elected by strong support of homo lobby. Homo teaching being admitted more and more to schools, people of mass being desensitized day by day, being more and comfortable with same sex marriage..."
Garlow, "thanks for coming on. We see in papers that sky did not
AA Minister: No one wants to be called bigot. Attempt to hijack civil rights movement. I’m offended by that comparison. I had no choice but to be born black as opposed to deviant behavior ...
Another AA guy: "Offended. Racist to compare homosexuality to being AA. Being black is not a choice. Being homo is.
(Screen is blank, but hearing stuff)...Saying that kindergarten books are already out there showing that kids in kindergarten are being to be homo.
Compare this to 9.11. How does this directly affect us? I did not know planes would crash into building. Change of marriage is same sort of thing. If Prop. 8 passes, it’s like 9.11.
AA guy interviews woman. Let’s just say that sexual attraction is definition. Pedophiles would have to be allowed to marry. Mothers and sons. Man who wanted to marry horse. Any combination would have to be allowed.
Right before the video was played, here's a description:
CD: Paid for by ProtectMarriage.com and represented by Mr. Pugno that paid for by ProtectMarriage.com. That’s relevance. Want to enter all as evidence. My hope is that we can admit all as relevant, but show messages that were presented to CA voters as part of campaign.
Obviously the 9/11 portion was a mistype in the liveblog and they meant that same sex marriage is what's like 9/11, a "change in marriage." I went and read the comments to make sure and no one disputes that's what they meant to type.
So, the Prop. 8 people had a video which told people all of this stuff, including that same sex marriage = the deaths of 3,000 Americans and slamming planes into two skyscrapers and the Pentagon, and trying to slam a fourth plane god knows where, and it was crashed, killing the passengers.
That's what they say gay marriage is like.
UPDATE: The Courage Campaign's Prop. 8 Trial Tracker provides an accurately transcribed quote from the video:
"I think a helpful way to think about this is to compare it to 9/11 because a lot of us are asking: How does this directly affect us? Well I wasn’t directly affected by 9/11 and my guess is most of you weren’t either in the sense I didn’t know somebody who crashed the plane in the building. I didn’t know somebody who was in the building. But after 9/11 the world was a fundamentally different place and that has affected me. The change in the redefinition of marriage is the same type of thing."
