Living here in CA in Santa Cruz; Berkeley by the beach, it was a real buzz kill to learn that Prop 8 passed.
While gay marriage was legal in CA, what, precisely has happened to heterosexual marriage? Did couples awake in the night in terror? Did they suddenly question their fidelity, ability to continue the commitment? What?? No longer able to feel "saved" and special quite like before?
Love ya Keith Olbermann and your Special Comment last night, but the real question is this:
Are gays and lesbians full citizens of the United States or not? Are they full citizens of the state of California? If they ARE, then they have identical rights as everyone else. If NOT, then it must be spelled out legally and no half-baked measures will do. We will then know precisely what we are up against.
By we, I mean all people living in 2008, mentally as well as physically, not those living in the Bronze Age.
