Congratulations, California – you managed to overturn a grossly unconstitutional and bigoted piece of legislation that should never have been passed in the first place.  I’m still sad it passed, but happy it is gone.  It is crazy though, to see the hatred and insane judgments from people afraid of their own mortality and their own belief system.  Take, for example, the story on Prop 8 written in the LA Times.  Every other comment is some asshat spewing venom in the name of “god” or ranting about how democracy doesn’t exist anymore because a judge was allowed to rule a law unconstitutional.

First of all –  those of you who aren’t familiar with our system of government should really read up – judicial review is part of the checks and balances system established by the founders.  It is as democratic as you can get.  Allowing a law that goes against our constitution is undemocratic.  And remember the document that started this whole party called America – the Declaration of Independence?  All were given the directive to have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

How soon we forget history.  And then try to use our misconstrued view of it in the name of prejudice and fear.

And then there’s the god thing.  I’m so tired of the god thing I could throw up.  Do you want to know something?  If you would like to spend your life reading fictional stories about a guy who supposedly is the son of some mythical creature in the sky who created everything – be my guest.  Seriously, if it makes you less afraid of the short, fragile life you are living here without any indication of what comes after we die – fine with me.

But don’t you dare tell me I can’t marry the person I love because the made up rules you have created from a fictional god say it’s wrong.  And that book you are quoting?  It says a lot of things are wrong, including things you probably do in your modern life right now.  So take your blind zealotry and go sell it to someone else.

In the meantime, I will still struggle to comprehend why me being madly in love with someone who also happens to be female and marrying her threatens your marriage.  Or the institution itself.  Please, concrete examples are welcome.  So far it’s just a lot of red faced nonsensical bullshit.

Do you know what is real?  What we should all believe in?  Love.  The love we see in our families, in our friends, in our homes.  The love we feel for those around us.  That’s it – that’s all we’ve really got.  Whatever made you think you have the power or the right to deny some of us the core of what is central to all human life?

You don’t.  And we’re tired of the ranting.  The fight isn’t over but trust me when I tell you it will be.  The days for bigots to stand up and preach hate in order to deny civil rights to law abiding citizens are numbered.  The homosexual agenda, as you like to call it, the one that seeks equality for all?  (OH THE HORROR)  When history writes the books, it will be the opposition, the supporters of Prop 8, the self-righteous vindictive hate mongers who use god to perpetrate another kind of agenda who will baffle future generations.  You will look like fools, sad, pathetic fools who contributed nothing to the evolution of mankind except to remind us that love will always win.
