"Once you extinguish the rhetorical and/or religious fireworks, what’s left? Willful ignorance? Or hate?
Hating a gay person isn’t illegal, as long as you’re not throwing bottles at them while you’re doing it, or telling them they can’t have a job because of it, or denying them access to financial aid for school because of it. But despite the spirit of all our laws against denying rights based on hate, Prop 8 would change our state constitution’s Declaration of Rights to allow for language that would explicitly deny rights based, in effect, on hate.
Skip 8 if you have to, but please don’t vote yes. You may hate the idea of same-sex marriage, but it shouldn’t be up to you to make another person’s individual life and liberty illegal."
