Hey, Mormons!

[youngiskander]

I hope you're proud of the Church of Latter Day Saints' (apparent, short-lived) victory on Proposition 8 in California. Because if you're not, WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST FUCKING YEAR?. It's your damn church, you slack-jawed fuckwads. What kind of Christian takes away other people's marriages? Where does Jesus tell us to cause

What makes Proposition 8 appear so short-lived? I've been trying to find a silver lining in that.

Demographics.

Old people voted "Yes" something like 60-40.
Medium people voted evenly.
Young people voted "No" roughly 60-40.

It was (and may still be) a very close call, so in 2 (or 4, or whatever) years when the proposition to rescind this abomination can be voted on, the "Yes" folks will lose.

Man. I hope so.

Honestly, it feels like the fight is still on in California. The Arkansas thing is deeply revolting.

On the other hand, there are still signs of progress. That the various anti-choice measures got universally defeated is definitely a good thing.
