Vicious Rants of an Angry Yellow Man

With the horrible state of the economy in the nation and here in California I find it absurd that everyday in the news here there is a story of protests regarding the passage of prop. 8 which bans same sex marriage. I voted against the ban because I don't think it is anybody's business what two people want to call each other. It will be a mute point in a few years anyway because prop. 8 passed with 52%, less than a similar prop. a few years ago. More and more young people don't have problems with same sex marriage and as more of them become adults and vote, same sex marriage will become a reality in the future. Why waste all the energy and money? Now that the prop. has passed, the gay right groups are out in force everyday. Where was the energy before the election? It seems to me that before the election the proponents of prop 8 were really working hard whereas the opponents were not getting their message out. Hey, accept defeat and try to do better next time.

Instead the gay activists are targeting people who supported prop. 8. The Mormon church is a big target because of huge donations from the members. I don't agree with their position but I think it is their right to do what they want. Even if the church had not come out and urge members to support prop. 8, the overwhelming majority of the members would have anyway because that is their religious belief. What I find absurd is that the Calif. Teachers union contributed money to defeat prop.8. Why is a teacher's union involved in this issue that has nothing to do with education and teachers? I am sure that a significant numbers of teacher members do not support gay marriage. Why is their money used against their will?

Hollywood is in a dilemma. There has been calls to sanction people who work in the industry and who had contributed money to prop.8. This seems to be like the McCarthy era where people in Hollywood were blacklisted for being possible communist sympathizers. The ACLU supports the free speech of hate groups so it seems to me they should come out and support people who voice their opinion against gay marriage. So it seems that liberals and conservative alike only want freedom for themselves but do not respect the rights of the other side. We should be spending time and energy on the economy, the war, healthcare and global warming. Instead we are wasting time on this nonsense.
