Vote no on California Prop 8.
Oct. 20th, 2008 11:09 pmI wish I had already set up a proper local politics filter for this, but I haven't. I've already encouraged Californians to vote for Prop 11, but even though my own instinct is to vote No on any California proposition I haven't researched, I know this is not the case for everyone, and there's actually another proposition on the California ballot that I feel even more strongly about.
If you live in California, and you're planning to vote for Proposition 8, please think twice. Proposition 8 will forbid marriages between couples who are good marriage partners. I believe that marriage, when it works well, is one of the pillars of our society, and is something that ought to be encouraged, not forbidden. Please consider that if Proposition 8 passes, all the members of the couples who are currently married under current
California law whose marriages would be dissolved by Proposition 8's passage, are unlikely to remarry under the terms that Proposition 8 allows. Please allow those who have a will to marry, to marry. Please don't vote against one of the pillars of our society. Please vote no on Prop 8.
