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.

Ok, I am confused on the wording. If you vote no, you are for allowing gays the right to be married, right? If you vote yes, you are voting to keep marriage between a man and a woman? For some reason, I always get this backwards. I really do hope that it goes through where gay marriages will still be recongnized. I wish more states would go for it too.

The sad part, in my opinion, is how that pro 8 people are totally avoiding the actual issue. They love the "if this passes, this MAY happen..." route.

And, oh damn, you know that schools may have to eventually recognize marriage as two people, not man and wife and that religions may eventually lose their tax exempt status.
I love the new one of the girl talking about the book King and King. We have it and the second where they adopt a girl. They are wonderful books.
