My partner and I live in South Orange County, California. We have 6 children. My 14 year old son was riding his bike home from school on Monday, he was very passionate about a No vote on Prop. 8 and our area being very pro with a Yes vote there were signs everywhere. He stopped and pulled one out of the ground out front of a home and then just left it on the ground. The woman across the street who had seen him jumped in her car and chased him leaving her 8 year old child home alone and then detained him unlawfully and started quoting the bible and told him that gay people will all go to hell, their life styles are against god and so on and so on. She also asked him if he was gay which he isn't. She called the police and when they arrived wanted him charged with the destruction of property, the officer told her that no offence had been committed and then bought him home in the back of his police car, spoke with me and left. Election Day she is at his school more than likely to vote and loudly announced that was the boy she had called the police on. Today I called the local PD to see if I should file a complaint against her for unlawfully detaining my child or for harassment of him and basically in a nice way was told that yes we can send an officer around to take a report BUT it would go no where and I should just write all this down in case there is another incident with this woman. I feel if the shoe was on the other foot and I had stopped a child and started preaching to them that their parents life style was wrong or asked him or her if they were gay, I'd be arrested. Seems like a double standard! I have to protect my children and my son has started wetting the bed as a result of this incident and he has been very depressed about it as have I.

When you read and see on TV about the Yes vote consider the kids of the No on Prop 8 and what they have had to endure.
