It's days like this I hate everything.

Okay, put aside the fact that Obama got elected, because it is rather great. But what the fuck, California? Passing proposition 8? How is this any different from segregation? I agree with a good friend that the separation between marriage as a legally binding document and marriage as a religious institution is infinitesimal, if not nonexistent, in People's consideration of this decision. Nowadays it's more "oh noes! gay peoples! they want to do me and i'm not gay! don't give them any rights!"

Don't be so self-possessed. They don't want to do you. Don't want gay marriage? Don't get one. Idiot.

The only even vaguely humourous thing about it that I've found is this: http://www.bunny-comic.com/?id=1264 Because when you think about it, the rest of those aren't all that implausible for this country.

Also I'm sick, but that's less important than personal freedoms.

I realize this is a little bit late, but I was truly surprised that California passed it as well. When, do you think, people are going to stop flip-flopping about gay marriage? Probably never, right?
