Exhausting to listen everyone talk about all the protests and the meet in the middle and everything else when really, none of them get it.
The entire argument at the supreme court was about whether or not the actual campaign on 8 was illegal or legal. The ACLU was arguing that the campaign itself and it going to ballot was illegal because in our United States Constitution in section whatever and paragraph whatever it says that it is illegal to vote away the rights of a minority group but it was NOT, I repeat, NOT about gay marriage. And furthermore, not only that but it WAS legal to vote on 8. Because of our federal system, ANY state has the right to appeal a law in the constitution or anything else if that state so chooses, which sadly, California did. BUT, it had nothing to do with gay marriage. It was actually just about whether the votes themselves were illegally happening, which they weren't.
So, NO, I won't be going to Meet In The Middle.
And, NO, I won't be going to any protests.
And, NO, I'm not going to stand there in front of city hall saying that I believe in marriage equality for everyone when that had NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COURT DECISION OR THE ARGUMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Half the people who voted in supreme court were DEMOCRATS, you would think that if it was really about the issue of gay marriage itself, they would have voted to let it happen. But it wasn't.
Inform yourselvesssssss....
