What a dismal state of affairs our state will find ourselves in if Prop. 8 passes.
I have very stone hard beliefs but I'm the kind of person that doesn't feel the need to push them onto everyone and anyone. My brothers, sisters, and father are very confrontational. I took the quiet rode and told myself that I'd believe what I believe and let others argue it out. But here's a lapse in that....
What a horrible, dismal, incredibly depression state of affairs we'll find ourselves in if these are the results:
At approximately 1:00 AM with 66.2% votes turned in
There's around a 400,000 vote difference between yes and no on prop 8. Yes is in the lead (so far), that's 52.6% vs. 47.4%
Prop 2, which dealt with animal rights is winning for yes with 62%.
Prop 4, parental notification for abortions is No (53%).
And others that weren't so close to my heart...
I know that I shouldn't be so pessimistic and remember our silver lining (GObama!) but, seriously? A proposition to TAKE AWAY rights of people that have only just been granted to them?!
This isn't a sad day just for the Californian LGBT community, but for everyone everywhere interested and pining for Justives.
Just a sad, sad day... Thanks Middle America (Middle California) for forcing state policy to take a step back. For RETROGRESSIVE ideals.
I think it's time to move, what about you?

i don't get it. and it is a sad day for not only justice but freedome. why so many people have this idea in their head that they decide whats best for every one else, and who should be happy, i don't know.
