Since the asshole mormons put up 20 million dollars to pump fear onto the hearts of Californians and help pass Proposition 8, Melissa Etheridge has penned an excellent column for The Daily Beast on Prop 8 and legislating morality:
"When did it become okay to legislate morality? I try to envision someone reading that legislation "eliminates the right" and then clicking yes. What goes through their mind? Was it the frightening commercial where the little girl comes home and says, "Hi mom, we learned about gays in class today" and then the mother gets that awful worried look and the scary music plays? Do they not know anyone who is gay? If they do, can they look them in the face and say "I believe you do not deserve the same rights as me"? Do they think that their children will never encounter a gay person? Do they think they will never have to explain the 20% of us who are gay and living and working side by side with all the citizens of California? I got news for them, someday your child is going to come home and ask you what a gay person is. Gay people are born everyday. You will never legislate that away."
Amen sister! From your mouth to GOD's ears. And remember, GOD loves us all. Besides, he did make US all in HIS image whether crazy ass religious extremists want to accept it or not.
