There's also another issue which is how long some of these ballots get.

I'm still upset at the fact that it needed 60% to pass and it did.

how ass backward is it that the same day people voted for an increase in animal rights (prop2), they took away human rights?

Prop 2 was terrible, in this economy?

I kind of get the impression that a lot of people didn't even know what prop 8 was about. Either they hear "gay rights" and automatically build a homophobic wall around themselves or they can't be bothered to read and/or get informed. For instance, when I was picketing around election time I was just holding a No on 8 sign and some old lady yelled from her car window "why do you want to kill babies?" It's like, what the fuck?

Nothing happens overnight. It was only 5 years ago that the anti-sodomy statues were declared unconstitutional.

Unless your friends is significantly intellectually challenged, I think that should read pretty clearly.

Florida is a pretty backward state. One of only three U.S. states that specifically prohibits homosexuals from adopting.

the voting for that was not actually along homo/heterosexual lines. It is possible to support limiting adoption to married couples even though you are fighting for same-sex marriage rights.

personally i don't feel marriage should be a right to anyone. i feel marriage is and should be a privilege and that one should have to pass a test before qualifying to get married. and like with 3 strikes laws 3 divorces and you don't qualify either.

It wasn't? Because other states have statutes that limit adoption to married couples while the Florida one specifically bans homosexuals from adopting.
