Same-sex marriage

So there's this "post this sentence supporting same-sex marriage rights" meme all over my flist.

Instead of simply posting it, though, I'll say it in my own way.

I've made my opinion on the matter clear several times in various posts, including these as well as USENET posts from way back in 1994.

In the particular case of this year's election: California Proposition 8 doesn't "protect" a damn thing worth protecting, because the so-called "right" of bigots to feel superior through dog-in-the-manger removal of marriage rights from other people isn't any such thing.

Word. *So* much word.

I fear for prop 8. And next week, I fear that I will be as ashamed to live in California as I was proud to live in Mass. the complementary time. And no, I don't have anything else I can give them to help. :(
