#prob 8

[cchittybitty]

Today I can proudly say that I live in California, not only is today an amazing day for Californians but it’s another step in equality which every man and every woman despite their sexual orientation/preference should be given. What I don’t understand is how it took so long for us to realize that because marriage is between two women or two men, and not one of each, doesn’t change the meaning of marriage. None the less I’m happy to say that we’ve finally got to this point, it’s been a long battle and to win feels no less than amazing.

"DOMA has been struck down. As predicted, however, the Supreme Court took the off-ramp and refused to say that gay people have a Constitutional right to marry. Bizarrely Scalia, one of the dissenting judges gives the most accurate view of the judgment as a whole noting that: But the Court has cheated both sides, robbing the winners of an honest victory, and the losers of the peace that comes from a fair defeat. We owed both of them better." - Huffington Post

I think this expresses well my feelings on prop 8 and more today!

I really hope that the supreme court makes the right decision with DOMA & Prob 8 tomorrow. Everyone would be entitled to marriage equality

Brad Pitt Says “Yes” to Gay Marriage

        On March 3, 2012 The American Foundation for Equal Rights and Broadway Impact joined with playwright Dustin Lance Black and a star-studded cast to present “8.” As is often historically the case – it took artists, imitating life, to bring forth the critical issues and facts, to illuminate them for all to see.

This is how the fallacy of the U.S. Supreme Court’s silencing of the trial of Proposition 8, banning gay marriage in California, was brought to light:

Same Anon ;)I think it's very possible to enjoy an artist's work while hating them... however, it is also true that if you support them in any monetary way, you are also supporting their agenda. In O.S. Card's case, it's an anti-gay agenda. See link here: http://nomexposed.org/the-facts/rogues-gallery/orson-scott-card/It is also true that, as a practicing Mormon, he is obligated to donate 10% of his earnings to the church for whatever purposes THEY see fit to use that money for. If he didn't donate, he'd be 'excommunicated' from the Mormon church. Look it up, and if you disagree with his agenda, I'd recommend only getting his works from libraries and free sources that don't require you to support him in any monetary way. Same for those you know. ;)

Yes it's true they are supposed to give 10% but also if you go to most other Christian/Catholic services the majority of people put money in the collection plate. Hell I put a little money in the plate whenever I've gone and I'm not religious. 

I don't want to get into a religion bashing debate but I don't support any religion. I don't think any human being has ever known what God was or is or could be. It's all someone's opinion of what God might be. 

I'm disappointed that Orson Scott Card puts that much time into something so pointless as fighting Gay marriage. It's going to become legal. There's no question. I do believe it's a Civil Right and it just takes time for these things to happen. Religion should never dictate Government policy.
