You put on a condom and discover that you have a serious allergy to latex.

Right to Protest, anyone?
It's November 09 2008. Just a little under a week ago we finally elected our first black president. This goes to show the sociologist that black man comes before white woman (Sarah Palin or Hilary Clinton). It was a monumental election... one that offered difference and change. But also in the state of California something life altering happened to my gays.
In May 2008 the State Supreme Court ruled that gay domestic partnerships were separate but equal, ruling the ban on gay marriage unconstitutional. Thousands of gay couples go married. No divorces yes (and believe me, I have a lot of lesbian friends), no fiscal impact on the state economy--with the exception of what happened in Sacramento but that's not our issue at hand. No one was taught about gay marriage in the schools. Those little children that knew about gays were hardly effected by it anyway.
But on November 5th the state ruled 52-48 that defines marriage as something between a man and a woman. The supporters of Proposition 8 cheered, claimed that democracy has done something right. Idiots, democracy does something for the majority, not for the right! I don't want anyone telling me what to do for my wedding; why should I have to tell someone what they can and can't do? This is America; where freedom should be upheld, not restricted, and especially in who someone can love.
So let us be American and do the best thing we know how to do: protest!
Join the many people who protest PEACEFULLY in the streets of Los Angeles, San Fransisco, San Diego, and any and every major city. Make our voices heard: we want equal rights.
The link below are upcoming protest events. Bring running shoes though just in case you happen to march... or things get ugly and then you'll have to run from the cops armored with riot gear. Should that happen remember the golden rule: run toward the television cameras so you have evidence to sue.
Until next time,
