I agree with all of the above...except i would add the feeling of ...mad as hell! it seems that the mormon church and the conservative christians are able to buy themselves a few judges via influencing public opinion thru their disgraceful tv and radio adverts and newspaper inserts.
i find it very difficult to understand why they consider it strange that we are mad as hell and protest in front of their churches etc. when they seek to take away our rights. i live in prague, czech republic and was totally out of touch with what was going on in california until the day of the election and the vote. i live here basically in a czech world where its ok to be gay and no one cares who you sleep with or who you love. one month before the vote my mormon cousin came to visit my partner and i for a week. during this time she brought up these anti gay adverts that were being shown in california and trumpeted around the usa but i didnt know what she was talking about. so i thought she was just being a typical south georgia biggot. i didnt think much more about it.
then after the vote and i read about it and i talked to her about it, i learned that she knew about it when she flew her butt over here and stayed with us for a week and not only did she know about it but she had been supporting it!!!! so in my most humble away from america but still pissed off opinion...it's time to protest. a protest the size and noise of which would make harvey milk proud. i would like to protest over here but there's no reason to as we have gay rights here and no one thinks it strange to be gay or lesbian....so my thoughts and support and whatever else i have to offer are with you all who are there in the usa and california who are also mad as hell and frustrated and angry... fight on!
