WebKittyn Says Hell No on Prop 8
Since we live in the middle of nowhere we get two sets of the main network channels, east and west coast. I don't have a DVR yet so it's really convenient to be able to tune into the California networks and watch stuff. I also find their news fascinating, it's different than ours.
They have a lot of propositions in California with a lot of commercials for and against. By far the most I see are about Prop 8. I'll admit I don't know enough about the details of Prop 8 to try and sound like I know what I'm talking about but at its most base level it's blatant discrimination and I hope it doesn't pass.
The commercials make me see red, they really irk me. I won't post the video here, I don't want to give them any PR but they're on youtube. This little girl comes skipping in from school to tell mommy she learned a prince can marry a prince and she can marry a princess. Mommy of course looks utterly horrified and then they cut to the spin. Another one spouts the need to preserve 'traditional marriage' and I find it all in really bad taste and I find these people a whole lot more offensive than gays getting married.
They have this ominous voice warn that children will learn about gay marriage in school and blah blah blah. Come on, people. Little Johnnie is stealing your Xanax out of the medicine cabinet so he can take it to school and sell it at recess or trade it for little Jenny's ritalin but God forbid - gay marriage!
I am 100% pro gay marriage, always have been. Prop 8 is a narrow-minded bit of legislative discrimination the world can do without. I don't want the government in my bedroom, I don't want the government defining marriage for me, I don't want the government doubling as the morality police.
All the shit that's seriously wrong with America and this is what people want to argue about. Leave people the hell alone and let them lead their consensual adult lives, please. Fix the economy. Fix health care. Fix education. Fix the overcrowded prisons.
Do the right thing, California. Hell no on Prop 8.
