Another Stupid Defeat for Equal Rights in Calif.

Well, Election day did bring stupidity in California. Seems like the SLIM majority of people just don't want everyone to be equal, as the gay marriage law was shot down. What that does to all the legally married gay couples, I don't know- but I'd be pretty pissed.
Have you noticed that the straight people can't wait to get divorced, and the gay people can't wait to get married?
If a slim majority of hateful, bigoted people don't want gay people to have marriage, we'll have to settle for civil unions for now. I'm tired of all the crap and hatred from the right-wing idiots that think they deserve everything and "no one else deserves God's grace." I think that if we're patient, over time once all the hateful people die off (basically, looking at the vote it's people in the 40s and older that voted it down) the Supreme court will take it up in a couple of years -and all that crap will change. It will happen and people will have to deal with it, just like they did when inter-racial marriages finally became legal. It'll happen. P
After all, gay marriage been legal in Massachusetts, and straight marriages haven't seen a higher divorce rate and the state hasn't gone to hell.
Everyone deserves equal rights. The selfish people that don't believe that need to go find a dictatorship to live in. "God created all men (and women) equal."
FROM TODAY'S NEWS: LOS ANGELES – In an election otherwise full of liberal triumphs, the gay rights movement suffered a stunning defeat as California voters approved a ban on same-sex marriages that overrides a recent court decision legalizing them.
The constitutional amendment — widely seen as the most momentous of the nation's 153 ballot measures — will limit marriage to heterosexual couples, the first time such a vote has taken place in a state where gay unions are legal.
Gay-rights activists had a rough election elsewhere as well. Ban-gay-marriage amendments were approved in Arizona and Florida, and Arkansas voters approved a measure banning unmarried couples from serving as adoptive or foster parents. Supporters made clear that gays and lesbians were their main target.
