Seriously, California?WARNING: Big fat rant ahead.
No, really. Did half the state catch the 'I'm an intolerant twat' virus?
Proposition 8. A proposition to enforce a law that bans same-sex marriage within California. And 52.24% voted yes.
Why? Well, I went on Youtube to look at some of the YesOnProp8 videos. This is some of what I found:
"If Prop8 fails, children will be taught that marriage is between Party A and Party B, regardless of gender."
"Those who oppose same-sex marriage on religious grounds will be increasingly labelled as intolerant and subjected to legal penalties or social ridicule."
"Although the argument of redefining marriage is couched in happiness or equal rights, it's really about gaining control; forcing all of us to give up the very foundation of speech and religious freedoms on which this country was founded."
Ok. The first one. So, basically what she's saying is, if Prop8 fails children will be taught that there are gay people in the world. OHNOESSHOCKHORROR.
Next one. Good! Discrimination is discrimination, bigotry is bigotry; you're not exempted from this just because God says homosexuals should burn in hell. You know, I thought he was supposed to be all-loving...
Last one. Oh yes, those gays all want to uproot your beliefs. It's got nothing to do with the fact that people have treated them like a sub-species (however subtly that may be) for years and they would actually like you to cooperate and let them have the same rights as everyone else. Of course not. They all just want to mess with your minds. Seriously, though. Probably one of the worst arguments I've heard. And, oh look! There's religion again. It has jack all to do with your religious freedoms. Face it. If Prop8 was rejected, it wouldn't affect you at all.
So much for a liberal California; denying people their civil rights is hardly being broad-minded and tolerant. It's 2009, the 21st century - the fact that this is even happening is ridiculous.
Yay for the 47.76% that voted no [link] (these guys are lulz)
