More Soon, But For Now

Copy this sentence into your LiveJournal if you're in a heterosexual marriage, and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow.

Proposition Eight infuriates me. Someone in a truck made a great big rear windshield sticker the other day and I think it sums up the situation nicely. To be very clear, because this could be interpreted differently I DO NOT SUPPORT PROPOSITION EIGHT. I believe in marriage for any two people who are in a committed relationship.

"Celebrate discrimination. Vote Yes on Prop 8"

Every single add with children in it used by the Yes on Eight people makes me ill. I don't understand this fear and hatred. I don't understand how it protects my marriage. I know I am not discrimination free, but I try. And there is no reason to assume that defining marriage as a man and woman protects that institution. I can't wait until Tuesday, because I just can't take much more this.

Thank you so much for posting this, and for voting no on 8. You're doing me and every other gay person in this country a service with your vote against it. I want Prop 8 to fail as much as I want Obama to win. I'll never understand why anyone would support such a hateful proposition other than stupidity, hatred, and blind faith in a backwards belief system.

Thank you so much again.

I would never consider voting for this proposition. One of my earliest memories of a wedding was being a flower girl for my Dad's two female co-workers. They were such a happy couple, and later went on to be great Moms and have a great family. How could anyone say that was wrong?
