bwahahahah no, it's just been all over the place during the last couple of days. I'm far too lazy to protest like this, and FYI I have no personal stake in the matter at all; I'm not gay and I don't have any close friends or family who are.

Here's an actual post from our CA West Coast TA forum on this issue (I deleted the names since they didn't give me permission to copy this here, though you may also read it there):
"there have been no rights intiatially afforded to gay couples that have been revoked with this prop. An institution was simply redifined (sp) in order to uphold its original intent."
"Not how I view it, here's another perspective:
On May 16, 2008, the California Supreme Court affirmed that the state constitution, AS IT WAS WRITTEN BY THE FOUNDERS OF THIS STATE MORE THAN 150 YEARS PRIOR, provided official government recognition of all marriages between all couples, regardless of gender.
On November 4, 2008, Proposition 8 amended this constitution to explicitly deny this right to same-sex couples. Nowhere else in either California's constitution or the Federal Constitution are a specific class of rights restricted, to any minority group, for any reason."
Oh yeah, I posted the second part, so guess I do have permission to say it was me. :)

...and yes, a lot of things are f*ckd up here in the States, but we do have a sense of humor too...here's an ad for the No On 8 campaign (which would have allowed same sex marriage to remain part of the State Constitution, as affirmed by the CA Supreme Court):
Others noted the universal appeal of religion!

Or, just let them get Married, but allow Churches to deny the marriage if they wish, but still acknowledge it under state law in the legal sense of the word.
isn't that what the religious types are fighting against?
