It appears 52% or so of Californians are homophobic bigots. Boo on that! Shame on each and every one of them!
If you voted for Proposition 8 and are reading this now, ask yourself this: Would you be satisfied being in a "domestic partnership" with your spouse? Would it be OK for you to not be able to be at his or her bedside when he or she is at the hospital? Would it be OK for you to not receive tax benefits from being in a committed relationship? (Maybe we should change the tax code?) Would it be OK for you to not have automatic parental rights?
If you are concerned about your children, they will not be children forever. Homosexual marriage would not have been formally taught in schools had Proposition 8 failed. Your children aren't stupid. They know more about sex, drugs, homosexuality, and general trouble-making than they let on. You cannot control when your kids learn anything, unless you keep them in a hole somewhere. And that is considered abuse.
To those who had a personal stake in how this all turned out, I'm deeply sorry. This is not at all fair to you, and I hope the fight in court goes our way.
