It is very sad that Prop. 8 passed. Tabash did indicate that that
could happen in such a socially liberal State. Denying the rights
of the people is not what a Constitution of the USA is for, that is
a misuse, a abuse, and fascist. It is the tyranny of the majority
against a minority group that we have all been warned about. This is
part of the shame that I feel about my country. A Constitution, in
the USA, is meant to protect the rights of the citizens by limiting
and dividing the government powers, and the foremost right of the
US Bill of Rights is the separation of church and state in order
to protect our religious freedom. I feel so mixed about the grand
and happy events this past election, and the dark and dire events.
Tabash was correct to point out the onslaught of religious monies
used against freedoms for our wonderful GLBT citizens. The proof
is now in, that their monies can even sway the vote of California
to exclude a minority group in their Constitution. The power of
these religious monies needs to be checked, and Jefferson’s wall
of separation needs to be strengthened for the sake of restoring
justice for all of our citizens.
CA Prop. 8, voting results.
