Four … mock germ warfare.  Mormon leaders in Salt Lake City received threatening letters in envelopes containing an unidentified powder.

Five … attacks on the elderly.  In Palm Springs, California, protesters yanked a cross out of the hands of an elderly woman and stomped on it.  In nearby Carlsbad, a man assaulted an elderly couple who put up signs in their yard supporting Proposition 8.

Six … racist attacks and insinuations.  Blacks (who supported Proposition 8 in large numbers) have been accosted with racial slurs—not in inner-city neighborhoods, but in areas like wealthy Brentwood, where many report being physically threatened as well.  Ironically, even some blacks who picketed against the proposition were verbally assaulted by other same-sex activists.

Seven … co-opting the Civil Rights movement.  These same activists have made disingenuous efforts to paint their campaign as the philosophical parallel to what blacks endured half a century ago—as if securing public enthusiasm for legal sexual behavior was somehow the moral equivalent of winning voting rights and access to public facilities.

Eight … indoctrinating children.  Those pressing the same-sex agenda continue to focus an abundance of effort and resources on brainwashing the next generation of children other than their own.  For this, they are using health classes, assemblies, field trips, and other venues away from parents to acclimate children as young as kindergarteners to the idea that same-sex “marriage” is as morally valid and laudable as real marriage.

Nine … despising democracy.  Unwilling to accept the voters’ verdict on Proposition 8, supporters of same-sex “marriage” are determined to do an end-run on the ballot box, accomplishing their objectives by judicial fiat and strong-arm tactics of tyranny, violence, and intimidation.

Ten … silence.  The conspicuous lack of criticism these vicious assaults have received from the leaders of the homosexual political movement speaks volumes.  Obviously, these activists have few qualms about the methods or madness being displayed by those who share their political priorities.  Their profound contempt for the most basic freedoms of the very citizens whose endorsement they demand is an irremovable stain on their cause.

That’s a full count—but the count goes on, because the judges of California’s Supreme Court haven’t ruled yet.  Awaiting their decision is a growing crowd of Americans who have repeatedly shown that they will go to the mat to protect marriage between one man and one woman—only, unlike the activists who oppose them, they’ve done it with a ballot in hand instead of a fist in the air.
