Don't agonize, organize ... that's my mantra. Change won't happen unless you work to make it happen! But sometimes even your best efforts don't provide the results you were looking for. Or sometimes a situation is just so completely outrageous that all you can do is say ... YIKES!
I am so glad that you posted this- I am guilty of having focused so much on the No on 8 activity in Cali that I have not given this issues in Florida its due.
These are really important initiatives with the power to really discriminate. Highly unjust actions based on ridiculous religious foundations.
Now I am a religious person who finds freedom in the words of the God I worship, so same sex unions and union outside marriage are not the evil others purport them to be.
However, that is truly, truly irrelevant because RELIGIOUS reasons for these matters is completely and totally inappropriate in our country. Period. No exceptions. Ever.
Sorry, off soapbox but ever passionate in my beliefs.
Fran pointed me here. I have been so caught up in Prop Hate (being a native Californian) that I was not aware of this. Glad to learn of it and I will point folks your direction to spread the word.
