A Californian gay activist has challenged the people in his hometown who supported Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in the US state 2008.

Jeff Girard, who makes videos under the screen name Jeff 4 Justice, delivered a balloon and flowers to people who he claims donated $63,750 (â‚¬48,000) to ‘yes on Proposition 8’ in Yuba-Sutter in the Greater Sacramento area in northern California.

But the gift is a prank with a sting in the tail. He also delivered a message to each of them, which he insisted they read before handing over the present.

It said: ‘Dear Sweetie, I hope you spent as much money donating to help the poor as you wasted on preventing gay and lesbian couples from having the freedom to marry back in 2008. Sincerely, Jeff.’

The video shows him visiting the home of Professor Brian Jukes, a democrat who he says wrote and distributed commentaries encouraging people to vote yes on Prop 8 during the campaign.

His response to Jeff 4 Justice: ‘Screw yourself.’

Matthew Fowles, a tax preparer Yuba city gets the Jeff 4 Justice film crew to leave the office and, when they fail to get off his grounds, accuses them of trespassing.

He admits preparing taxes for same-gender couples but he comments: ‘I am certain I am for marriage between a man and a woman. That’s what I believe in.’

While Yuba City psychotherapist Susan Jones tells Jeff 4 Justice: ‘I think people in this country have a right to express their freedom of speech. I believe we all have constitutional rights and in living by the law.’

He also visits accountant Jerome Tenney, who he says donated $20,000 (â‚¬15,000), family doctor Dwayne Rickertsen and company Recycling Industries who gave $28,750 (â‚¬22,000).

Jeff 4 Justice told GSN: ‘I pretty much got the reaction I expected. I didn’t do it to try to change their mind but as a symbolic gesture of standing up to them.

‘It was also therapeutic as any time the anti-gays come to my home town I want to show someone there is going to have a problem with what they are saying.’

He said the flowers and balloon were designed to be ‘symbolic’ of the happiness the Proposition 8 supporters had denied to gay and lesbian couples who wished to be legally wed.

A decision is expected soon from the Supreme Court which is likely to strike down Proposition 8.
