Wedding Crashers


Barack Obama spoke to me last night. Well, he actually spoke to all of us, but his election is bittersweet. Why? Well, California's Proposition 8 passed! And his message of coming together as a nation, well...does it really apply to me?

So same-sex marriage is now illegal (again), imagine that, it's illegal to commit yourself to someone for the rest of your life.

I'm being told to focus my anger towards more positive outlets.

Hmm. This bottle of wine might do the trick.

Oh and if you feel as PO as I do and want to say something to someone, head on over to these these two websites. They are both great ways to get donor information on the people who helped fund this hate-filled bill.

Of course if you're a chicken, you have more rights than gays and lesbians!

8 is usually my favorite number


I'm usually a huge fan of 8, but not this election year. If you live in California you've probably heard of Prop. 8. A NO ON 8 vote means that all people can legally marry in California having their relationship validated and recognized by their community. So why can't all people have this? Well, they can with a simple NO vote on Prop. 8. Learn more about this proposition here.

Don't trust me, here's what the LA Times has to say...

“Proposition 8… would eliminate the fundamental right to same-sex marriage. The very act of denying gay and lesbian couples the right to marry – traditionally the highest legal and societal recognition of a loving commitment – by definition relegates them and their relationship to second class status.”
