prop 8 revisited

[applegoddess]

So thinking back, I think there's this huge disconnect between people who support equal rights for gay people and people who don't, purely because the latter don't fully understand the situation. I'm sure there are some people in the latter group who do understand everything fully, I think it's then safe to call those specific people bigots

Well, I was focusing specifically on California and the issues with having a domestic partnership in California strictly. Yes, it is completely unequal if you consider how each state deals with another state's partnership. However, I don't really want to deal with anything on the federal level *right now*, given how downright hostile the anti-rights people are.

actually the DMA is the exact OPPOSITE of what you're saying it is, and it DID pass.

No worries. Also, I think it's the MDA, not DMA. Passed back in...I wanna say 98?

FFCC would go against the 10th amendment and defy all the basis of Confederation. (which, btw, is what the Civil War was ACTUALLY fought over, not the glamorized slave freeing bit).

Hmmm. I don't know what that is exactly.
