And Now, We Wait...
Nov. 4th, 2008 07:05 pmI suppose my greatest worry out of today's elections and votes is that Proposition 8 will pass in California. If it does, what next? If California, one of the most gay friendly states in the union is frightened into submission by the bigots, what hope for the rest of America? Would it mean that all the bigots have to do is open their check books and scare the populace into their vision of utopia of them and us?
And the thing that really makes me mad about all these so-called caring churches pouring millions of money into passing this venomous, hate-filled legislation is just that. The pouring of millions of dollars into a vendetta against a percentage of society - millions of dollars that could have been spent doing some good! Millions of dollars that are not being spent on feeding the starving. Or finding a cure for AIDS or cancer.
No. Far better to spend dollars on denying rights. Much more righteous.
I'm hoping to wake up tomorrow morning to something better. Something that my friends in California have been working for. A little thing I like to call fairness.
And hopefully the beginning of something more...
