faster pussycat... type! type!

well, maybe a lot of other people have posted it, but I, in my epileptic wanderings through the internet, did not see it until YOU posted it.

I wonder why there is such a huge concentration on why California voted against it, when other states also voted against it that same day.... I suppose because of San Francisco and the idea of all them crazy liberals in Hollywood....

To be honest, I was really and truly surprised that Obama was elected (happily surprised, that is) and NOT surprised that California messed up. When it comes to civil rights, and the do unto others thing, my fellow human beings have a really poor record. I find it best not to set my hopes too high.

Thank you for posting this.

Yeah, I've seen this around the internetwebs. I love his discussion of interracial marriage - the parallels are perfectly drawn.

I was really quite disappointed myself when I read that Prop 8 (and the others like it in other States) all passed. A sad day in what should have been a celebration of Obama winning the White House.

Out-of-state money funding it and poorly run opposition aside, it may be a lightning rod for change anyway. Hate is a strong motivator, but ignorance is the strongest - I'm sadly not surprised when this kind of thing happens, the iniative process breeds stupidity.

Keith Olbermann rocks.

Go Keith! Go!

i was also very saddened that it passed. in talking to people who voted for it (yes, i have friends who voted for it) it sounds like their main concerns were these: 1) religious officials everywhere have taken on the civil responsibility of marrying people and did not want to be forced into marrying people of the same sex lest they lose their tax-exempt status. and 2) they did not want the schools teaching homosexuality as the moral equivalent of opposite-sex marriages. personally, i think that the religious officials should never have started doing civil marriages and should have not blurred religion/state lines by being both a religious official and a civil servant. i also think that prop 8 does NOTHING to stop schools from teaching about homosexuality. they taught it before in sex ed and can continue to do so. it passed because of scare tactics. it's terrible and i hope the courts overturn it because of its inherent conflict with the requirement for equality in the constitution.
