“Please, Grandma, go home to Jesus so I can have my gay marriage.”

And I think we need to realize that it’s not about marriage. Not about adoption or fostering. Not about military service or employment rights or civil rights. It’s about gay.

Dumb people.

(Click my URL if you need proof.)

But seriously: It does give me hope to know that my college students are OUTRAGED over this, and their friends who aren’t yet 18 were incensed that they couldn’t cast a “no” vote. I know the next generation will get this right. But it infuriates and exhausts me to think of having to spend another few years and another $XX million to wage this battle again when we should have won it this time around.

Per No. 5′s accurate comment, the gay activists need to come out of their cozy, affluent, and let’s face it- white shell and start talking constructively w/non-religiously linked groups if they expect any sort of headway here. Bigoted kneejerk attacks (even against churches) are counterproductive, stupid, and mirror the dogmatic reactionaries from whom we claim to differ so greatly.

well DUH!

Thnak you Inertia. MANY Bloggers and News Media people are over anyalizing the whole sitution. I don;t knwo why maybe they want to be the first to find a new angle but its causing too much confusion, and taking the focus off the true answer which is Religous Bigotry and Pontification caused Prop 8′s passing.

Its as simple as that.

NOT TO MENTION everyone who voted yes because they were tricked into believing the outright lies used in the ‘yes on 8′ tv ads

The most astute comment I’ve seen on here yet. There’s been talk of blacks, Latinos, Mormons and the elderly, but what people don’t seem to realise (or don’t want to realise) is that they all subscribe to the same ancient mythology.

Not sure what that has to do with old people…oh yeah: we will all be old one day, and have no rights to our partners’ social security, pensions, and any other marriage rights afforded at a federal level.

True Chris. And speaking about that it seems the LDS has had this plan on the table for along time. Interesting Story

No, because old people voted for it, but the LDS paid for it. Without the LDS money, this would not have been an issue at all.

I vote no more hate slinging, blame game. Instead we protest, march and spread the love that we wish to express with each other through marriage!

It all comes down to one thing. RELIGION. the Demographics seperatly mean shite.

Older people are more Religious and apt to listen to the church and follow the way it wants them to vote.

African Americans are more Religious and apt to listen to the Church and follow the way it wants them to vote.

Latino’s are more Religious and apt to listen to the Church and follow the way it wants them to vote.

This whole “targeting of demographics is pure bull. It all comes down to religion.

Oh, and Nate Silver? Mmmmmm….smart is so sexy!

What I want to know is where our great outrage about the same thing happening in my home state, Florida, and Arizona where similar propositions/amendments were also passed? And where is the mobilization to take on the battle next in West Virginia?
