Do you really feel safer now?

On Tuesday, November 8th, Texas voters passed Proposition 2, a constitutional amendment providing that marriage in this state consists only of the union of one man and one woman and prohibiting this state or a political subdivision of this state from creating or recognizing any legal status identical or similar to marriage.

No one's basic human rights should ever be put to a vote. Ever. Thomas Jefferson, in his first inaugural address in 1801 said, "Though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable. The minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression."

To those individuals that comprise the 76% of the voters who approved this proposition, I have to ask, "What the FUCK is wrong with you?"

[sigh]

Okay. So, do you really feel safer now that your marriage is protected by a constitutional amendment? Given the amount of time, effort and money expended in the process, I hope you do.

Me? I'm scared shitless, sitting here wondering what you're going to do next.
