I don't know how prop 8 ever fucking passed anyway. In what ass backward world is it illegal to deny gays housing or jobs based on their sexual pref but A-OK to deny them the right to marry.

Don't forget they can still lose their livelihood just because of their orientation and what they do outside the work place . How horrific in this day and age.
I also want to say how happy it makes me that this is the ONE issue that has never divided this board. Abortion, working moms, McDonalds, Simple Human . . . All fair game. But this has never been.

So happy! My parent's friends at church (we call them out replacements bc they're the same age as my wife and I) got married 2 weeks ago. Now they can make it official!

I'm so happy. A douchebag who helped push Proposition 8 through was on the news right after the news came through saying that there was no way that gay marriage would resume because the law prevented it. Haha fucking prickhead.
I have a friend on Facebook who is very openly Mormon, raising several really great kids (one of whom has a life-threatening illness) and she is such a beautiful soul. I had always suspected that she supported equality, but this week she flat out stated that she feels everyone deserves the same love and happiness she has in her own marriage and that she would never stand in the way of them achieving their happiness. But that she absolutely would stand in the way of someone who tried to stop them from having the same sort of loving and incredible relationship she has.
I love her and I wish all people who are passionate about their faith could be like her.
