Proposition 8: The Musical

The video below is Hollywood’s response to the passage of Proposition 8: a full-throated, star-studded musical. There is something quintessentially Hollywood in all this.

The musical stars the likes of Jack Black, John C. Reilly, Margaret Cho, Maya Rudolph, and Neil Patrick Harris.

The question is now whether there will be a counter musical from the pro-Proposition 8 people.

I am personally looking forward to the Planet of the Eight movie. The movie already has a creationist/evolution theme and relevant lines such as Dr. Zaius noting: “I see you’ve brought the female of your species. I didn’t realize that man could be monogamous.”

Then there is Cornelius reading from the sacred scrolls of the apes: “Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil’s pawn. Alone among God’s primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother’s land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.”
