Because then I would join in the protest against Prop 8. Even though I do not identify myself as a lesbian, I still believe that everyone should have equal rights. The fact that California (of all states) legalized a ban against gay marriage is a slap in the face to me. I am a feminist and wish for nothing more than equal rights. While the feminist movement and the gay rights movement are different we share the same struggles.
If we are going to take this right away from other people then why don't we just go back to segregation. I don't understand how people can justify it. It wasn't so long ago in our history when we thought that it was okay to own slaves. We thought of people with different colored skin were animals and didn't deserve rights.
I think that all people should have equal rights. We need to see what this does to our so called freedom proclamation. Is that so hard to see? We preach land of the free and yet we deny that right to so many people. It hurts, simply, it just hurts.

I agree. Prop 8 is the height of barbarism.
I just don't understand and I don't think I ever will.
