BruSays,  how disgusting those people are!  Gay marriage was already legal for months in California before this ballot; did it really change the lives of these bigots?  Did they even fucking know whether the gay couples whom they refuse to associate with were married or not?  I’m sure it didn’t; and personally, as a gay boy, I have to say that the ‘straight lifestyle’ was shoved down my throat and imposed upon me for my entire life; those people have NO FUCKING IDEA what such a thing is REALLY like.  If I had the privilege of getting pissed off and morally revolted every time I saw/read about/heard of issues of straight marriage or man-woman expressions of affection, I would be in a constant state of rage.  But I’m not; I see that everyone deserves equal rights, I see that affection between humans is fundamentally beautiful, and that it has nothing to do with me anyway. 

People against gay marriage and homosexuality in general need to grow up and fuck off; it HAS NOTHING DO WITH YOU, it is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

How long do we wait in the anteroom of citizenship?
Although the margin of victory was not that great,looking at the 2000 vote, it seems rather narrow.American Political Hysteria is a tradition alive and well nourished. We will not find our victory in the popular vote, but in the courts.
Even as the Supreme Court is presently constituted we stand a very good chance. This is an issue that needs a final decision. The Republican Party had the power, for six years in Washington, to introduce a bill for “Defense of Marrage” and yet made no move at all. This is an important “wedge” issue and as such is ripe for exploitation, indeed its political value is highest as the great question, rather than any answer that might be given,except a final ruling by the Supreme Court,that is what is needed to put this issue to rest.

To give you all a glimpse of some of the thinking going on out there, here’s a posting I took from a local blog regarding the “Yes” vote on Proposition 8:

“What rights did I take from you? I mean granted I took away your right to rape little boys in the Church, the school yards, and the boy scouts but I didn’t take away your right to marry. I just said you have to meet the standards. Marriage is a man/woman sort of thing so unless one you queers is going for a quick SRS, you are SOL.

“Get it through your heads, most of us do not want your LIFESTYLE forced upon us. You are minority of sexual deviants, depraved and degenerate to boot. You can’t even get the male/female angle down correctly. You are deviants. No society should be held hostage to a group of deviants. No society should be forced to redefine their culture for a group of degenerates and perverts. Absolutely not. You were given civil unions and domestic partnerships as a means of compromise. You rejected that and began an assault on my nation’s culture? Screw you.

“I hope the judges overturn this again. Maybe this will be the catalyst for the next civil war. One I guarantee the fags will lose. Maybe when enough blood has been spilled, you will understand what the word “No” means.”

Talk about sick. Talk about scary. Talk about pathetic.

I wonder how many people who voted misinterpreted the ballot and thought that a yes vote was for gay marriage and that no was against?  It wouldn’t be the first time a faulty worded proposition, perhaps intentionally, had forced the outcome.  The way the proposition was worded a yes vote was no for gay marriage——ass backwards if you ask me.
