Prop 8

[ocnative]

Okay so I am obviously emotional about certain subjects, and Prop 8 is one of them. After dropping off some bags of clothes at Goodwill, I was sitting in an intersection behind a car with a "Yes on 8, reinstate marriage" bumper sticker. Standing on 2 of the corners were people holding "No on 8" signs. I got so excited I started honking my horn and giving them a thumbs up.

The driver of the car in front of me glared at me in his rearview mirror (he knew I was honking at them and not him) and I stuck my tongue out at him.

Then, when the light turned green, and me and another car continued honking our support, I started crying and the sheer seriousness of the situation. I may have resigned myself to who is going to be President, but I can't give up on this proposition.

Yup. Same as athiests can still get married - it isn't religious for them.

I get annoyed with the automatic demonation of those of faith on this issue. Not everyone wanting to vote yes on 8 is Christian / Catholic and not everyone voting no is agnostic / athiest. This isn't a vote on religion, it is a vote on marriage rights.
