After California made gay marriages legal in the state they then made it illegal again with proposition 8. It seems unfair especially in a state that has so many liberal places and what some people consider the gay capital of the world, San Fransisco.
A few of Hollywood's comedians have taken in upon themselves to make a statement about the unequal rights proposition with "Prop 8: The Musical" found at www.funnyordie.com. It stars an array of stars including: Jack Black, John C. Reilly, Sarah Chalke, Andy Richter, Margaret Cho and Maya Rudolph to name a few. It pins John C. Reilly and his colleagues against a gay proponent group. They want to change the constitution to make it align with the bible and Christianity.
The great part comes with Jack Black playing Jesus Christ. Who argues that the bible cannot be taken so seriously because it says that people in the bible sell their daughters and own their wives. Jesus believes in the seperation of church and state.
After the preaching of Jesus the conservative group thinks about all the money they can make on gay marriage and everyone is now for the repel of proposition 8. People will allow anything if they can make money off it.
This short clip is a light hearted approach to the very serious problem that faces California. Some pro-homosexual marriage members even refuse to pay their taxes until proposition 8 is changed. It's good to see people who have the outlets to stand-up say something actually are. It's inevitable that one day gay marriage is going to be legal everywhere and I don't get fighting it. If your against it than people are going to make you look like a bigot and they are going to use all their resources until they are allowed the freedoms of everyone else.
It's not social or cultural revolution, it's ethical evolution.
