I'm posting this specifically for California voters: Proposition 8 is coming up for vote in November. What is Prop. 8? It's another attempt to remove rights from people by specifically banning, on a constitutional level, marriage between same-sex partners. PLEASE VOTE THIS DOWN!
More pertinent to why most of us are here is Prop. 5, a serious reduction in penalties for non-violent drug offenders, and it reduces mj offenses to infractions (that's below a misdemeanor, it's like a traffic ticket). PLEASE VOTE IN FAVOR OF PROP. 5.
I've argued for too many years about this subject. The people who really have a problem have a severe form of cognitive dissonance and therefore can never be reasoned with. Fortunately their ignorance encompasses more than the homosexual beast and the entire spectrum of sexuality, and that often means they just don't fucking vote. That means that people, like me, my husband and my entire family, get to make their decisions for them. This greatly pleases me.
