prop izz ate

Today, I interviewed Tim Murphy, a full time student at CSUF studying theatre. Tim used his talents on the streets today to express his opinion on Proposition 8. Prop 8 eliminates the right for people to have SAME-SEX marriages. His interview discusses the main radical issues Prop 8 raises.

Tim Murphy


RAD: What are your main points with Prop 8?
TIM: 1)Equality for ALL. These rights are in the same boat as blacks, women, every human rights issue back in the day. Why is this different? Is it because of religion? or pride? 2)It's Biologically proven. it’s not a choice to be gay. They have different hormonal levels when they're born. Back in the day, when women would miscarriage, they would pump hormones into them to assist with birth. So why discriminate against a choice that wasn't "gay" people's choice to begin with? 3)Consequences have happened, and probably will happen. Anything from suicide to alcohol abuse are often linked to the neglect of such choice like same-sex marriage.


RAD: Why do you protest?
TIM: It's a reaction from opposing protests for me. I also love showing my passion. When you're out there on the streets using your time and money, you feel a stronger passion for your opinion. It's just a great way to express your opinion. It's proven that propaganda CAN be a huge influence, and could add to advertisement.

It's a release screaming on the corner of a major intersection. People honking just gives you hope.

RAD: Would you literally fight for this?
TIM: No. because there needs to be civility in this political process.

RAD: Who are you voting for?
TIM: Obama. Because he is the lesser of two evils. And he supports nuclear proliferation. He is committed to working with other countries. And McCain is not.


peace and love,
