Gay

Way to harsh my squee, though, dudes. Gay and married still not a popular thing to be, apparently. Fuckers.

Come on!
*still crossing fingers for California*

And according to CNN's coverage, all those gay and lesbian couples who have already been married will still be considered legally married if Prop 8 passes.

It makes no sense. No sense at all.

Awnold claims he's going to fight it, and most of the powerful people in California are against it. So the fight is NOT over yet!

On the good side a lot of those results were close, looking at the numbers.

Considering what they would have been just 5 years ago this is good. Seriously.

And Florida, which I think had the biggest bad margin, is easy to explain. Isn't it full of old people? Set in their ways - and a lot of them will be dead in another 5 years (ooh was that a non-PC thing to say?)

Its 5 AM here in CA and I am up WAY too early. According to the LA Time's map, the votes still to be counted are in the counties around where I live that haven't finished reporting in yet. Including San Bernardino, my own county--with only 29% of the precincts reporting in yet. WTF?

The bad news--91% of precincts across the state have reported and Yes has 52%, No 48% of the vote so far. Worse, the IE (San Bernardino, Riverside counties) is traditionally conservative, and San Diego is where the Proposition was started . . .

AGGGGGG!

I'm on the East Coast, didn't know about Prop 8 until this morning - TOO BAD! I didn't even know about the measures in the other states, although not surprised. I'm confused about the legalities here. I remember that the people who were married in SF had their marriages
undone (I thought). Maybe there's something different about this because it's a proposition? Not sure.

I think being a Brit I find it hard to understand why the States seem to have such a backlash. Although, over here it's still not refered to as marriage (and there's was stil a long fight prior to the introduction in 2006)it seems just a thing that happens. But then I'm a fairly liberal person and and my friends are too... so therefore not gonna hang about with the homophobes. In fact, I went to my first civil partnership this autumn.
