More on Prop H8
Nov. 7th, 2008 09:19 amIf you're going to be in the city tonight there's apparently a march planned to start on Market at around 5:30 and head for the Castro. Also yesterday there was a big protest outside a Mormon church in LA and apparently they're doing the same today in Utah. And the ACLU is on the case big time as we speak, which is a big relief.
But if you could also take a moment today and sign this petition for the Governator against Prop H8 that would be very cool.
And this quote from Dwayne over on the No on Prop 8 Facebook is definitely worth passing around:
in 1969, the state of Virginia passed a law that made interracial marriage illegal. I supposed [sic] blacks should have just accepted the fact they the law considered them sub human and unworthy of a "good" white person's love. Those poor mixed "mutt children" would be social outcasts... what sound minded person would put a child through such a horrid life...
The fact is, there are some things that aren't up for popular vote. People's rights are one of those things. The court didn't say gay marriage was good or bad, it said that the current constitution and the current law didn't match... that 60% of the voters, tried to vote that some percentage of the population wasn't as good as the rest, and it's their job to reconcile that.
