prop 8 (attention california residents of voting age)
17 years ago
first off, i'm not one to talk politics because i tend to word myself very poorly. also, politics are the last thing i'd ever want to be involved in. however, this issue calls for discussion. regardless of your location or even age, it's extremely important to know what is a stake here. to realize how narrow-minded & change fearing people can be. what other destruction of basic rights might this lead to if passed?
as written in other journals, & kind of copy-pasted here-- this proposition, if it passes, will amend the california state constitution to include the phrase, "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in california."
the purpose of this journal is basically to bring light to the fact that people are attempting to strip california residents of basic human rights, & just how fucked up/ terrifying this is.
like i said above... not so skilled at discussing political issues.
just trying to spread the word.

i don't really plan on getting married, 'least not at this point in my life. it just infuriates me knowing that politicians are attempting to rob people of so recently acquired, basic, completely harmless rights.
so yeah, best of luck! i'm rooting for ya amongst many others (:
Sounds valid, but I believe churches have that right anyway. I am not keen on legislation meant to police the private lives and activities of the individual. Especially when such activity poses absolutely no public health and safety risk.
have you seen the signs with the little silhouette of a family with heavenly rays of light sprouting forth from them? that shit makes me wretch.
Sadly, it looks like that prop will pass. There has been too little awareness about prop 8, other than their hefty promotional campaign.
