The Battle Continues

To all homophobes out there.  WE (LGBT) did not vote for your right to marry. If you can marry so can we. Millions of LGBTs have dreamed of a lawfully recognized marriage for ages and just because you want to keep it’s sanctity, you’re gonna keep that a dream? Who needs sanctity when you favor one group of people over the other. Who care’s about upholding a set of morals that discriminates a group of people because they are considered “queer”.

Gays are here to stay. We are everywhere. Your puny efforts will go in vain because we’ll be stronger than ever. You can talk down on us, you can call us names but you can never take our right to live under the same provisions and protection of the Constitution.

California’s Proposition 8 may have ammended their state’s constitution, isolating marriage only to heterosexual couples, but it has not thwarted the spirit and the resolve of all LGBTs.

www.noonprop8.com has this to say of about this hard defeat:

And while victory is not ours this day, we know that because of the work done here; freedom, fairness and equality will be ours someday. Just look at far we have come in a few decades.Up until 1974 same-sex intimacy was a crime in California. There wasn’t single law recognizing the relationships of same-sex couples until 1984 — passed by the Berkeley School District. San Francisco did not pass domestic-partner protections until 1990, the state of California following in 2005. And in 2000, Proposition 22 passed with a 23% majority.

Today, we fought to retain our right to marry and millions of Californians stood with us. Over the course of this campaign everyday Californians and their friends, neighbors and families built a civil rights campaign unequalled in California history.

You raised more money than anyone believed possible for an LGBT civil rights campaign.

You reached out to family and friends in record numbers—helping hundreds of thousands of Californians understand what the LGBT civil rights struggle is really about.

You built the largest grassroots and volunteer network that has ever been built – a coalition that will continue to fight until all people are equal.

And you made the case to the people of California and to the rest of the world that discrimination — in any form — is unfair and wrong.
