You assholes. Are you serious? While I am not too utterly amazed Prop 8, the bill banning gay marriage in California (for those of you living underground), passed, I am mostly shocked at the reasoning behind it. As I read articles pertaining to Prop 8's success, I couldn't help but notice the flawed logic that helped this right's stripping bill into law.
The National Review's Jennifer Morse said, "the people of California are deeply troubled by the idea of small children being taught about homosexuality in the schools without their parents’ knowledge or consent." ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Yep, you're right Jen, that is exactly what we all think, our teachers, since the courts ruled gay marriage legal, decided to teach all their precious little pupils all about the joys of being a homosexual. And if your parents are gay, they definitely tell you being gay is the ONLY way to go. You don't teach homosexuality. You can't pick this up, it is not a goddam condition! You can't get cured!
I don't remember a point in my life when I woke up in the morning, gasped as I sat up and thought, "I'm straight!" I didn't have some talk with my parents saying how I prefer having sex with women over men, or how I have chosen not to take it up the ass, I just am straight. Just like if you happen to be gay, you just are gay. It is NOT a choice. Why would someone choose to be of a certain minority constantly bombarded with hatred and bigotry? Why would you choose to have you're rights as a citizen stripped by you constituents? Wake up you ignorant fuckshits, by voting for proposition 8, you have set all progress towards ACTUAL equal rights in America back another generation.
Now, I realize that there are other reasons to vote against gay marriage whether they be religious, ignorant, or just plain fear. There is a deep seated confusion and ignorance around homosexuality stemming all the way from holy scriptures and the basic problem that, you can't see homosexuality. The prejudice against gays is in part due to the realization that one cannot see if someone else is gay. Unlike racism or most other "isms", people are afraid of what they can't see when it comes to homosexuality. Not comprehending homosexuality to be only one aspect of a person, they fall into the bigoted remarks of some leaders preaching to rid the world of this dreaded illness. The unknown frightens voters and so they choose, instead of being a little..dare I say it... SMART about it, to sign away the rights of people that did nothing to deserve it and are just like everyone else.
I know that the lobby against prop 8 is at fault too. By consistently comparing the fight for gay rights to the civil rights movement, they instantly marginalized their support. Blacks and Hispanic voters did not appreciate the comparison of their struggle to that of homosexuals, and majorities of both ethnic backgrounds voted to ban same sex marriage. The angle they should have taken (the anti-prop 8 people) was that of showing gays for who they are in society, EVERYDAY PEOPLE. If more voters could simply understand that being gay is not a choice and is just a way some of their fellow man are, the amendment may not have passed.
There is still a bit of hope yet. The LA Times reported nearly 1,000,000 absentee votes coming in to California are yet to be counted, and in a historic election year as close as this one in so many states, there is a chance prop 8 will be overturned. Unfortunately, this is a dim light at the end of a very dark tunnel. I am sure that in my lifetime we will have equal rights for straight and gay, but this disgusting display of ignorance will sadly postpone that milestone for a later date. Thanks a lot you retarded dickfores.
I realize I may have offended some people. I'm sort of sorry. Dickfore
