I don't live in California, but the idea that something like Prop 8 could pass in Cali was absurd. I still don't understand how it happened. Sadly, in Texas, we already have something similar to Prop 8.<BR/> Maybe I'm too cushioned by my liberal city, enough to make me naive about the rest of America. <BR/>Once Obama takes office, then the campaign for a constitutional amendment might get somewhere.<BR/>ChristenChristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11038957504592788795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29663787.post-51020897067835331752008-11-09T18:20:00.000-08:002008-11-09T18:20:00.000-08:00I want the chance to vote on their marriages.And y...I want the chance to vote on their marriages.<BR/><BR/>And yes, this battle is just beginning.

Hell, I remember when George W. tried to make it "pharmacists choice" on whether to dispense birth control or not.<BR/><BR/>Even if you're not into LGBT literature this action is wrong.
