As of November 4th 2008, the State of California deemed same-sex marriage illegal. Many couples had ceremonies planned for the next few months, and all had to be canceled. Susan Hanley and her partner Louise Fuhr were supposed to have their wedding today but the Sonoma County Clerk's Office called them to tell them the very saddening new. The vote for proposition 8 was overwhelmingly on the no side in sonoma country, with a vote 66.1 percent to 33.9 percent. State wide the proposition passed by a margin of 52.5 percent to 47.5 percent. The propositions that were similar in Florida and Arizona won with even bigger margins.
Personally I am saddened by the fact that this proposition was passed. It doesn't only personally affect me, and the ones I love, but it also affects people all over. Just because the bible says it's wrong, doesn't mean the state has to agree. I believe that State and church should be completely separate. Why should I or anyone else have their right to marry taken away from them just because we are homosexual. It is not a choice, we are all born differently. We need to move on from the bigotry we live in. I know someday we will look back at this moment and say "WOW." It will only be a little longer 'till everyone is equal. We've come so far, but we've got so far to go.

You know I agree with you, and here's a post detailing my thoughts on the issue. I'm sure things will get better eventually.
If you're going to bash someone (especially a friend of mine?) on their blog, please at least do it with correct grammar so that you're a little less of a disgrace to our species. Discriminating fucks like you are the reason why the Prop got passed, and the bottom line is that, all opinions aside, it does not affect you, so let people have their rights. It's not going to hurt you to let people marry who they want.
Thank You Tessykins! and as for you afroballs707 (your name says alot about you) You are obviously a closed minded pompous ass. Just because you think something, doesn't mean you have to be so ignorant. People like you need to fall off the face of this earth.
