Fuck you, California.

Yet another failure of the American people.

No, I'm not talking about Obama.

Proposition 8 passed.

Way to go, California. Fuckin' it up for the rest of us.
EDIT: Fuck you too, Florida.

Honestly, that's not really the point. California has long been the harbinger of social change in this country. Anything California does has a tendency to work it's way into popular practice in the rest of the country within 10 or so years. Yes, this will be challanged in the California surpreme court. But unfortunately I see this paving the way for yet another proposition to ban hay marraige on a FEDERAL level. Quite possibly a successful one, now that California's passed one.

Not quite over yet.. there are still the mail in and provishinals.... it could be tied at least.... but yeah.. im sick about this

As far as I'm concerned, it's over. It shouldn't have even been -close- I guess we can thank those fucking Mormon bigots and the outrageous lies they poured millions into spreading for this one. If this were a senate race, or some type ofpersonal political race, there would be lawsuit upon lawsuit against them for the blatant LIES they've spread during this campaign. Hell, if a commercial for a product spouted that kind of filth about one of their competitors, there would be millions paid in damages. Someone REALLY should find a way to start a class action lawsuit against the Mormon Church for lible and slander put forth in those advertisin campaigns.

It'll never make it at the Federal Level...If you think California has a big fat turd on their hand in court now, just wait to see if they try it at a Federal Level...Pfft, I'm not worried.

Yeah, it won't stand in the Supreme Court, but that's entirely beside the point. Who gives a shit if gays can "legally" marry if society still won't accept it. Remember the black Civil Rights movement? Sure, "legally" they weren't slaves and had the same rights as whites, but that didn't mean anything to society; to the lynch mobs, or the resteraunts or busses that still segregated and discriminated anyway. What good is a legal right if you are shunned for excercising it?

Ah crap, I hoped it didn't pass. That might have given a hint to the politicians here.

I'm not at all surprised about Florida.

Still, it's curtains for me and Morgan's high-flown dream down there. >_<;;
