something like proposition 8 should have never been on a ballot. the constitution of the united states upholds the equal rights of all, even minorities. while a majority of votes were not cast against proposition 8, the rights of the minority should still be upheld. this will go to the supreme court. ballot measures should be for taxes on gas or water not civil rights. equal rights for all people should never be in question.
the christian church needs to be removed from the american political system. there should be sanctions or something. they are setting us back hundreds of years. we are supposed to have a separation between church and hate.
i went to the rally for equal rights last night in long beach. it was wonderful to see the thousands of people (the los angeles times reported 2000 but it was well over 3000) marching and chanting ~ the disease of inertia lifting from the american population. gay, straight, hot, cool, short, fat, families... all were represented. a lot of young people. i thought i saw paris hilton ~ not marching, but in a car waving and taking pictures. i didnt think she could even spell "8"!
the protesters blocked traffic for miles. marching from one end of long beach to the other, several impromptu rallies developed when police in riot gear blocked the way and organizers were soft. the people took over. peaceful civil disobedience went on a couple hours longer than organizers and police wanted. and arrests were made. i was the first person arrested. (the la times reported only three arrests were made; cnn reported nine. i was one of twenty.)
before being arrested, i put up more graffiti than any other night. i also handed out ONE FOR ALL buttons which received an overwhelmingly wonderful response. and except for my tired body, it wasnt a bad night.
