today, you disappointed many. Oh sure, I understand 52% voted against but this was already a done deal! Why did you have to go there?

Love,
A disgruntled native

No offense, that's what I&R is about.

courage campaign, which sends me too many emails said they're going to go ahead and try to get it on the ballot again in 2010 after initially opting for 2012

California's initiative process of amending the constitution is ridiculous.

I'd be shocked it it wasn't re-amended in 10'.

Silent? In what sense? The "gays are sinners, defective, immoral, shameful, diseased.." has historically been the loud-and-clear cultural standard. The contrary has been the love-that-dare-not-speak-its-name... you know, like closet? And Initiative and Ref is a broken system by any measure.... the state's budget crisis is largely due to the I&R system. So we have the odd situation of needing a 2/3 vote to have an annual budget, but only 50 plus one is needed to amend the state's constitution. Equal protection clauses should never be put to a vote...

So my partner and I are now like mis-printed stamps... rare, caught in a window of time, still married.

I remember only 20 years ago I smoked at my desk in a school office and blew smoke right in the faces of anyone who sat with me. These things have a life of their own.

I did not expect the courts to overturn what the voters decided only 6 months ago.

It's your constitution, buddy. As a living document, you can amend it just like the others do.

And the Silent Majority comment was what the dude who ran the campaign said at the AAPC awards ceremony I was at, and I thought it was funny.

I was on a scotch bender last night, so explaining all of this was beyond my capacity.

I just think it's neat how people get to vote in favor of discriminating against a group of people they don't like.

everyone's gotta have some group of people that they feel superior too. whites are running out of targets so the gays are an obvious choice. gays and illegal aliens. oregon was either the first or the second state to go to the initiative and referendum system, and unfortunately it was pretty influential. sorry about that. I think we've had something like 350 of them over the years...mostly bad (especially women's suffrage)

Because the video is full of the phrase "Fuck You" and thought your coworkers may find it offensive to listen to.

In other California news:

Mildfires Amble Through California

OJAI, CA—A series of mildfires ambled casually through California this week, lazily threatening nearby homes, warming helpless wildlife, and cozying up to almost everything in its path. "We barely evacuated our home in time," said resident Paul Krempel, whose backyard has been threatened by the loitering fire for days. "First, the boxes we ordered arrived a day late, and then there was a mix-up at the van rental place, which took forever. Plus, Margaret had to go pick up the kids from soccer practice before we could really start packing. It was definitely a close call." Firefighters have rushed to the scene of the mellow inferno and are currently sitting around it in lawn chairs, exchanging old stories and telling jokes.

Not to pry, but why do y'all wanna get married so bad? If the court told me I wasn't allowed to get married I probably wouldn't care.

I understand the equality/discrimination aspect, and yeah for that reason alone it's pretty abhorrent, but at the root of the issue, not being able to get married, I could deal with that.
