ROTFLMAO- Hey guess who was primarily responsible for this prop passing? Mean fearful bigoted Republican hicks clinging to their guns and their religion? NOPE:
"California's black and Latino voters, who turned out in droves for Barack Obama, provided key support for a state ban on same-sex marriage. Exit poll data showed seven in 10 black voters and more than half of Latino voters backed the ballot initiative, while whites and Asians were split."
UPDATE 2:Hollywood is going bats and Arnie joined the battle:"Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Sunday expressed hope that the California Supreme Court would overturn Proposition 8, the ballot initiative that outlawed same-sex marriage."
Let me just say that this is NOT AT ALL HELPING. Like the illegals parading around in the streets with Mexican flags and tearing down US flags and replacing them with Mexico's flag... all that did was piss people off big time. The gay community is NOT DOING THEMSELVES ANT FAVORS at all with these marches. Not in the least bit. See this is NOT a civil right movement. This is about sexual preference and people are clearly less tolerant. We can see that in how California voted on prop 22 and now 8. Twice now very clearly the people of California have said NO. Maybe someday that will change, but it is the will of the people.
"REPORTING FROM SAN FRANCISCO AND LOS ANGELES -- After losing at the polls, gay rights supporters filed three lawsuits today asking the California Supreme Court to overturn Proposition 8, an effort the measure's supporters called an attempt to subvert the will of voters.
"If they want to legalize gay marriage, what they should do is bring an initiative themselves and ask the people to approve it," said Frank Schubert, co-chairman of the Proposition 8 campaign. "But they don't. They go behind the people's back to the courts and try and force an agenda on the rest of society."
I'm going to have to agree here. The people have spoken. Florida and Arizona also approved a ban on gay marriage. The liberal congress in California and in the state senate and the courts keep trying to overturn Prop 22, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman. The people clearly don't want it. It is not the time.
