Radical Response to Prop 8

[puptabasco]

Before the vote on Prop 8 many LGBT people who were not on the marriage equality bandwagon.  The thinking for many was that marriage only benefits queers wealthy enough to not worry about daily survival, and that focusing on marriage detracts from other issues affecting queers.  Just before Prop 8 I didn't hear any radical critiques of marriage

I think you know I agree with this completely. I don't think Prop 8 is really about marriage at all. Red herring. Objections to fighting Prop 8 based on marriage take the bait and end up breaded, fried, and served with chips.
