Proposition 8 - what a sad day!

And so the California Supreme Court ruling is in and its a mess. On one hand they uphold Prop 8 but they try and appease those they must know they have let down terribly and wrongly by allowing those gay couples who had married prior to the ban to remain married.

Whilst I am happy for those couples, it is sickening that hate and discrimination has won the day in California. Proposition 8 was voted for due in large part to a campaign that used lies, distortions, innaccuracies and exaggerations to try and scare the hell out of the voters. It sadly worked. the judges should have seen through the lies and stayed strong. They didn't.

It is a sad day for justice, common sense and humanity.
