It makes me so angry to think that civil rights are being given the same treatment as the naming of a sewage treatment plant. This is not a decision that should be determined by popular vote.
I got to the point where I couldn't even pay attention to the arguments because they made me too angry. Don't tell me you are 'protecting the family' while you completely invalidate my family. Don't tell me you are saving the children while you do your best to undermine their family structure and break the bonds of their parent's marriage.
I know I shouldn't say this, but I'm happy to see people finally getting mad. I understand the need for commercials where old, white, heterosexual spouses express how prop 8 hurts them too, but what I really want is a "How fucking dare you?" commercial, or a "Contrary to your belief you are a bigot. Stop defending your bigotry by inventing fictional gay friends who are totally cool with you denying them rights." commercial.
I'm sick of the idea that you should ask politely to have equal rights.
