No on 8

Thu Oct 16, 2008, 9:37 AM
If you live in California, you probably already know about Proposition 8, which is the plan to roll back equal rights for gay couples in that state and take away marriage equality for them. I don't live there, but I am gay, so it's important to me. If you do live in California, you need to get out and vote "No" on 8.
This isn't about "redefining" or "protecting" marriage or however the anti-gay crowd is framing it this week. Marriage has been "redefined" a lot over the course of human history. Like anything else, it has, and continues to evolve. So no, this isn't about "redefining" anything, it's about letting people that love each other have their relationship given legal protection. It's about couples having access to the thousands of rights that straight couples take for granted, but gay couples would need hundreds of legal contracts to emulate (and even then, those aren't a guarantee). And it's about having our relationships given respect.
It's about fairness, plain and simple. It's about one of only three states in the nation that actually treat gay people like citizens rather than as some sort of second class subhumans. There aren't any logical, rational arguments against same sex marriage, only bigotry and blind adherence to outdated "tradition", the way not allowing interracial couples to marry was once the "tradition". Human rights are more important than any "tradition" could or should ever be.
Proposition 8 seeks to drag social progress backward into an intolerant past that has only so recently been thrown off. We can't let that happen. No matter what your political views, who you plan to vote for in the Presidential election, please, please vote "No" on Proposition 8.
