Before today's midday recess, powerful evidence was introduced that exposed the discriminatory motivations of Proposition 8, as demonstrated by campaign communications and statements by William Tam, an Official Proponent of the initiative. Video of Tam's deposition, which was taken on Dec. 1, 2009, was shown in court today.
Question: "And it is your understanding that part of the gay agenda is legalizing underage sex?"
Answer: "Right." (Page 43 of deposition)
On Monday and Tuesday, the court viewed Yes on Prop. 8 ads urging voters to "protect our children." Now it's apparent that this message was working in concert with the type of discriminatory communications we heard today from an Official Proponent of Prop. 8. This is powerful evidence.
