Prop 102 has me livid and overall disappointed in the fact that my fellow citizens are wasting their time and money on a useless piece of legislation that can only do harm and no good.
Yesterday I got a Prop 102 flier in the mail and we were spammed with a door tag. This is after I sent them a long and nasty email the last time they sent me stuff. Take me off your list and save a tree please.
Copy this sentence into your livejournal if you're in a heterosexual marriage, and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow.
I'll admit, I felt a small tidbit of guilt having a wedding this year that is recognized across the country and even the world that my gay friends can not do in more places than a few states and Canada and maybe one or two other countries, but rather than protest and not have a wedding myself, I figure I will just become more of an advocate FOR gay marriage recognized across the board.
I saw a good bumper sticker on the way home today: "Opposed to Gay Marriage, then don't have one." Simple as that, if you proposition makers don't like it, no one said you have to do it, but please live and let love. If two people willingly want to enter into a bond as strong as marriage, they should be allowed to regardless of sex. Our society favors two adult and two parent households in loving committed relationships. Why should it matter if it is a man and a woman, a woman and a woman or a man and a man? Maybe I am too liberal or not religious enough, but from a logical standpoint, I simply don't get it.
I even saw a Prop 102 sign in Spanish in Phoenix the other day. Give it a rest people. Let families be families. Hell, half the people in support of this proposition wouldn't even know true love if it smacked them in the face, maybe that is why they want to ruin it for everyone else.
