    Image  Clovis Mayor Nathan Magsig comes out to support Traditional Values Coalition

    At a TVC Rally against gay rights, civil unions and marriage Mayor Magsig was heard supporting the TVC message.
    Unfortunately the roar of the crowd and the singing and chants from the demonstrators were too loud to make his message audible.

    If you are upset that a city Mayor used his position to promote unequal treatment of residents please read on...

    Image  Traditional Values Coalition Rally…………not all it was summed up to be. Why you may ask? Well, along with myself and 25-30 other “love warriors” in attendance, we let it be known they were not welcome in our town. They probably figured going to out sister city Clovis, the LGBTQ community would not show up. Well, we did. Our presence was huge. They had about 200 ppl. There and they were roped off “for their safety”, I say they were rats in a cage for the safety of whomever. The police tape gave us a bit of a directive where to stand.   We were very loud and very clear. We were NOT happy they were here and we were not going to let them intoxicate Clovis and the people of the Central Valley.

    Background:
    I learned on Wednesday night that religious bigot Lou Sheldon was bringing his anti-gay Traditional Values Coalition(TVC) to my hometown of Bakersfield the following Saturday.  Our local State Senator, Roy Ashburn was to host a rally to promote an agenda against marriage equality, domestic partnerships, and gay & lesbian rights in general.   Assemblyman Bill Maze and City Councilman Mike Maggard were also scheduled to speak, along with some local religious leaders.
