We shall overcome.

Josh, I've met you and you know I like you but prop 8 makes me sick. It literally churns my stomach to think of anyone fighting to remove rights from people because of their orientation or anyother reason. ~Beth

Backers of the measure claimed victory Tuesday night with the initiative leading by a 52 to 48 percent margin. The legal challenge maintains that Proposition 8 is invalid and takes away a "fundamental right'' from "just one group — lesbian and gay Californians.'' The petition argues that the state constitution cannot be amended if it violates other constitutional rights.<< Don't pop the corks on the Martinelli's Sparkling Cider just yet, Prop 8 fans.

Originally Posted By SingleParkPassholder Speaking for myself, I don't suffer bigots and fools gladly. What you gleefully supported here I find absolutely repulsive. For me, what you've done here is unconscionable. To come on here and call it God's will and the truth only makes it worse. Hence, my ongoing disgust. Make your own call about anything else. I detest your lying and cheating methods done under the cowardly cover of "God". You've told an entire class of people they're less than human and are inferior to you. If anything, your behavior proves just the opposite.

There are other threads where you can gloat and preach how homosexuality is wrong - but courting a high schooler and marrying her as a 29 year old man is right.
