Disgusted and Ashamed

I must say that I was sad that Prop 8 passed, but I am ashamed of the gay community when I hear people bashing Prop 2.

There is an implication, and sometimes an outright statement, that passing Prop 2 prevented gay people from getting married. This is not only factually incorrect, but also grotesquely offensive and shameful.

Farm workers and food animals are treated in ways that are considerably worse than not having the right to marry, but that's not even the worst part of this bullshit.

The worst part is the desire of oppressed people to oppress someone else. Those who employ this strategy of blaming Prop 2 for Prop 8s passing are afflicted with the syndrome that affects many a Poli/Sci major in their freshman year... the parroting of something they've heard and expecting other humans to think them clever.

It's not clever.
It's revolting.

I am a gay person, and I support the separation of church and state.
I also gave more money to Yes on 2 than I did to No on 8 because I knew that Yes on 2 would have less total donations.

I was right.
It was 4 to 1 more for No on 8.

Someone needs to teach these awful people that oppression is wrong for everyone, not just everyone but them.
