Most of you have probably heard, but proposition 8 in California has passed, which bans gay marriage.
Where do I start? First of all, who decided that who marries who should be put on a ballot? It is exactly, and I emphasize exactly, parallel to my neighbors voting on if I, as a white person, should be allowed to marry an African American, or as an atheist/agnostic, marry a devout Catholic. Doesn't that sound ridiculous? That's because it is.
Secondly, does anyone else find the irony in Republicans/conservatives are always talking about having a smaller, reduced sized government, but are always in the thick of controlling the most private aspects of out lives (marriage and abortion come to the front of my mind). How can you honestly be against abortion, even in cases of rape and incest.
So, that's that. grr.
