Totally disgusted with Pro-Prop 8, California
Look, I don't know what to say, but I'm getting really worried about the mentality of my fellow Californians, recently. I think anyone who loves each other and goes to the trouble to get married should have the rights of a married couple. I simply am appalled by all the hate I see around me suggesting (wrongly) that a vote for Prop 8 is, somehow, "protecting marriage." Well, I'm married (to a man, in case that matters to anyone reading this) and it doesn't protect my marriage. Let's face it, voting for Prop 8 is VALIDATING HATE. Voting for Prop 8 has ZERO to do with religious freedom. It has everything to do with hating gays and lesbians. I'm so outraged at the signs, comments, videos I see (and worse, that our children also see) all sending the message "If you are gay, then we hate you and consider your rights meaningless. People who are not heterosexual are not as good as we are. Go away." Well, I do NOT believe this.
