i'm not outraged. i'm not enraged. i knew this was going to happen, but i didn't think there would be such a margin.
I just read that issue 1 got the Amish motivated to vote and that had an impact here in Ohio.
Will there be civil war? Will there be rioting? Doubtful.
Will there be lawsuits? Probably. Will it change anything? Doubtful.
I just can't be optimistic anymore when an Issue initiated by a psycho who wants all homos dead (and certainly seems to have more than a passing interest in making sure straights get married ... i'd be interested to see if he's just a bitter single old man...) despite being shot down by major social and political groups of different party affiliations, gets passed by an almost 2:1 margin.
Approximating marriage? What approximates marriage? Living together? Caring for pets together? Sharing utility bills? Being on each other's insurance paperwork? Someone pointed out to me today, for couples owning a house together, the in-laws of a widowed partner could lay claim to the house...
It's a clusterfuck. Let's call it what it is. Let's get to work challenging it. ACLU? HRC? Anybody?
And 4 more years of an incompetent boob. Hoo-fucking-ray. I hope that we can make it thru 4 more, but I doubt it. How long before states start burning fags, no pun intended?
