The votes are all counted, the bunting is gone and this glorious country is about to traverse yet another frontier as the first Western power to elect as their leader a man who is black. The intellectual eloquence embodied in this act is something of which you should all be boundlessly proud.
I only wish I could say the same for Prop. 8.
In a matter of weeks one man’s elevation to President of a country will set a lustrous precedent for the entire world. Yet the cognitive tolerance that enabled this feat has left over 10,000 people in a legal abyss. With Prop. 8′s demise, Massachusetts and Connecticut are the only states left where people who find love in a different way have the freedom and dignity to do as they please. The heartbreak this is causing must be beyond comprehension.
And not content with this selfish denial of personal choice the arrogant, judgmental bigots who invented Prop 8 are now preparing Court actions to destroy all the marriages that inspired their divisive crusade. The ACLU and several Gay Rights groups are engaged in defense but the fight could be hard, and the results a disaster. The voting is over and the battle is won…And still their opponents can’t say ‘Enough!’
With foreclosures in thousands, a debt in the trillions and the economy cratering worse by the day, you’d think sentient, seemingly rational people could find something better to do with their time.
