I remain ecstatic about the election but unfortunately we took a step backwards in California with the passage of Proposition 8. Proposition 8 ostensibly overturns the California Supreme Court's decision to allow Gays individuals to marry.
A Catholic Bishop actually said that Proposition 8 does not discriminate against any one group. In an ironic way, he is partially correct. It is not only Gays that are incensed but straight people like myself, as well!
I simply do not understand the logic that would stop two people who love each other from marrying. Anyone who thinks this is ok has some deep soul searching to do.
Marriage is a spiritual decision between two people who love each other. My church (Unitarian Universalist) is fully for Gay marriage. Disagreement is part of our democracy. Imposing our way of life on others is a violation of the freedom our country was built upon and a blatant violation of separation of church and state.

Marriage has been for thousands of years between a Man and a woman or women depending on religion. For a reason. Separation of Church and state you say what about Mormons and more then one wife? (thats Illegal) Noone is saying Gay's don't have the right to be together leave the term Marriage out. There is many religions that do not approve of the concept of gay should the state also disban them?
