Small Victories and Silver Linings

"Reminder: California is a state in which same sex marriages are legal. Let’s not pretend that the pro-Prop 8 folks didn’t get a victory here in banning recognition of future same-sex marriages in California, because they have. However, the victory they did not get, the one that mattered the most from the point of view of delegitimizing same-sex marriage in California, and the one will make the Prop 8 ruling look increasingly foolish and bigoted as time goes on, is the one that would have invalidated the 18,000 previously-existing same-sex marriages in California. These marriages make a mockery out of the Prop 8 wording, because guess what? That part of the California constitution that says: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California”? Completely and totally false."

My bad. I've been away from MeFi for a few days (yay weekend of frisbee, etc.) and missed that whole thing. I'll post it over there, and flag this.

No, it's vote "Yes" on 34 and vote "No" on proposition 35.

No on 35? You're opposed to discount bus passes for war widows?

What are you talking about? Everyone knows the best way to support the bus system for all, including war widows is voting Yes on 35 (and of course no on 67)
