Prop 8



So today we are taking a stand with the 9th US District Court of Appeals (9th District)  and slapping down Proposition 8.  

Prop 8, for those of you not aware, is/was the California ban on gay marriage.  Since then, it's been thrusting the issue of gay rights into the national spotlight, encouraging wide spread rights campaigns (like the NoH8 campaign) and debates across the country. This GLORIOUS decision by the court was summarized by Judge Stephen Reinhardt:  "Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples...The Constitution simply does not allow for 'laws of this sort'."

So take that Prop 8!  Take your narrow-minded fear and shove it.   Because gay rights are HUMAN rights and two consenting adults should be able to marry whomever they choose.

As the great RuPaul says, Everybody say LOVE.  (And, say SLAP YOU to Prop 8)
