Political Post

I don't usually post about political issues, because if you do read this (not many do, but hey), then you don't really need to hear about my politics, and instead should be reading about the adventures of my shoes. I know that is what you're really here for. But I had several conversations today about the ridiculous nature of Proposition 8 here in California.

The religious right seems to think that if a same-sex couple marries, it automatically nullifies their own marriage. How amazing is that? Who knew that a same sex couple was so powerful? Seriously, whose business is it if a gay or lesbian couple marry? Is it so abhorrent that all people should have equal rights? The right to comfort their loved one when they are in the hospital, to adopt your significant other's child, to get health benefits--that is a challenge to heterosexual marriage?

If you are against gay marriage, don't marry someone of the same sex.

NO ON PROP 8!! Protect freedom, protect the constitution...support love and respect, not hate and lies.
