[OT] Sad and Disgusted

shaking head

Well, Proposition 2 was overwhelmingly passed in Texas yesterday. One of
the few times I've been ashamed to be a Texan!

I guess all us married couples can now breathe a sigh of relief that a gay
couple can no longer come knock on our doors with shotguns and force us to
get a divorce. It's so nice that my marriage is no longer threatened since
we've now taken away the equal rights of our fellow citizens.

I could go on for pages, I'm so disgusted, but you get the drift!

Hugs,

I don't know how the politicians have the nerve to call themselves human
beings?

I was actually surprised at the final total, I was expecting it to be
more in the 60-65% range. Then again, this is Texas, after all. At
least Travis County (where I live) rejected the ammendment by 60%!

I am so sorry, Lori-- about so many things.

Well, because it *IS* Texas I was expecting more of us. This is the state
who, in Houston alone, took in more Katrina victims than all other states
combined. We are a big-hearted people, how could we be so small-minded!!!

I imagine it will follow most of the other states that tried to enact a
like-worded amendment and be struck down as unconstitutional by a federal
judge.

Actually there are two questions in one proposition that I thought should
have been separate. I am for only a union of a man and a woman being called
marriage as it has been traditionally. I have no objections to creating
another equivalent term or word with the same legal power for other kinds of
unions. I didn't know how to vote on it.

Sorry about the election results, Catnipped. That bites and badly.

In California, we had somewhat better luck--NOTHING passed. I know,
sounds weird, right? =o) But this was Ah-nold's special election which
he insisted on holding, even though there wasn't a single proposition
on it that couldn't have waited until the primary election next June.
And he wasted 54 million holding this election to tell us we need to
cut state spending. I guess that makes sense on his planet. The
people of California stood up and collectively handed Ah-nold his head.
Poor man, he might even have to learn to work with the Legislature,
now. EG

Usually propositions like this in California are thrown out by the
California supreme court. Isn't that likely to happen in this case?

Your feelings reflect where I was five or six years ago. I've gradually
come to believe that people are more important than words. Its a journey.
