In honor of the abject backwards cowardice of the California Supreme Court (and every other court that believes that popular opinion supersedes that pesky constitution (the one that says we’re ALL equal)) I am hereby declaring that I am gay and standing with all of the other oppressed people.
Not opressed you say? Really? So not being able to visit your partner in a hospital without lengthy paperwork ahead of time? Not being able to have all of the same rights as any other couple in love? Seems like oppression to me.
Exactly when did the government have the right to determine who someone loves if they’re both of consenting age? Why is this still an issue in this day an age at all? Doesn’t case law from the 60s establish that discrimination is illegal? Meh it’ll take more than facts, truth and logic to sway the minds of blind stupidity, ignorance and fear.
I strongly endorse the idea of everyone on twitter, facebook, myspace wherever it is that you spend your online social time and be gay for the day, the week, the month. However long it takes for people to wake up and end the all too common standard of discrimination we live in.
Fuck oppression
Fuck discrimination
Fuck religious ideology being forced upon the masses.
The above is how I feel, apparently the courts think otherwise.
I’ll be hashtagging on twitter using #gayfortheday
So…for me to disagree with racial segregation in the 50's South, I would have to be black? ;) Love the intent, but how about being straight every day AND still disagree w/ CA ruling? Every day. Cause one day don't do much.
No the whole point was to symbollically join with our fellow human beings to protest.
I will stand with you as well. I have enough Gay friends that do not get the rights my wife and I do. F This Shit. USA get with the program. #gayfortheday
Well Chris I guess your Mother is gay too. I went to two protests since this homophobic bill was shot down. I don't know who is against it. Everyone I know voted yes on Prop 8 ad then again for the same thing on the 5th, Do ya think the votes are a bit fixed? Next marriage as a whole will be shot down so that our warped government can tax us all as singles. Mom
