Divorce

It's been about 3 weeks since I blogged about anything political, so I'm due. And here it is.

A friend sent me this video today. And it did effect me. Probably because this is the first time I realized that since the passage of Prop 8 banning Same Sex marriage in California, the proposed dissolution of all the previously legal marriages in that state can be compared to making people get legally divorced. What kind of country do we live in that would force that?

And the fact that Ken Starr (the jackass who was behind impeaching Clinton...and who I have a theory about how he is responsible for 9/11) is a part of the legal team is sickening to me.

Here's a snippet of the article...followed by the video. It's a tearjerker.

On December 19, 2008, Ken Starr and the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund filed legal briefs defending the constitutionality of Prop 8 and seeking to nullify the marriages of 18,000 devoted same-sex couples solemnized before Prop 8 passed.

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in this case on March 5, with a decision expected within 90 days. We, the undersigned, ask that the Court enforce the equality promised to each of us by our constitution and invalidate Prop 8. So doing will protect all loving, committed couples in California -– including the 18,000 who said "I do" last year –- and prevent the initiative process from being a tool for stripping vulnerable minorities of precious constitutional rights.



This video may have been cheesy but seriously. These are families. And devoted partners. They deserve for their marriages to remain recognized and legal.
