Okay, so here's this. I really hope this is all I am going to say about this, since I prefer to keep this journal about fandom stuff and general happy-making things. It's not a diary - it's an indulgence.

Re: Prop 8.
To: Flist

Um. Yeah. I've seen several people screaming about how much California sucks and how much they hate "us" for passing this atrocity.

YOU ARE PREACHING TO THE CHOIR AND ALL THAT ACCOMPLISHES IS MAKING ME FEEL EVEN WORSE.

If you're on Livejournal and I am on your flist, that means you are gay-friendly. So screaming at your flist, who I have to assume is ALSO mostly gay-friendly, about how much they suck for something they were most likely not responsible for, seems childish and catty.

So - yeah. Thanks for making my "No" vote feel even more pointless. It's bad enough we live in a state that passes something like that and in Red Orange County, but let me at least be able to look at my flist as something to amuse me and not something to fear.

Okay, I lied.

I know, I said the last post was the only time I'd touch this topic. But - I lied. Because dammit, I LOVE SMART PEOPLE:

"The American Civil Liberties Union, Lambda Legal and the National Center for Lesbian Rights filed a writ petition before the California Supreme Court today urging the court to invalidate Proposition 8 if it passes. The petition charges that Proposition 8 is invalid because the initiative process was improperly used in an attempt to undo the constitution's core commitment to equality for everyone by eliminating a fundamental right from just one group — lesbian and gay Californians..."

It's a fascinating, intelligent and well-researched petition. Smart people rule!
