The Jewmanist

With all this talk of the California Supreme Court upholding Prop 8, I hear a lot of how it all comes down to one word: Religion. And rightly so, but certainly not 100%.

And I speak from experience. My grandmother (who would never read this blog*), is vehemently opposed to same-sex anything. Being a Jew, you’d think she’d see the hypocrisy, but according to anyone in the right wing, sexuality is a choice. (I find it sad that, with this assertion, not a single homophobic person has yet to tell me when s/he chose to be straight.)

Bad new for Mormons and fundies alike, this Prop 8 stuff isn’t going away:

During the election, the Mormon Church pumped hundreds of thousands of dollars into the push to ban same-sex marriage in California — a campaign that deprived people in a different state [from where the church is based] of a fundamental civil right.

Here are some photos from the Protest Prop 8 March in downtown Los Angeles, CA.

I had a very short conversation with a coworker regarding this issue. Apparently he didn’t even understand what Prop 8 is. WTF? After explaining it, he informed me how he believes marriage is between a man and a woman. Fair enough, but what’s the reasoning? The same ol’ slippery slope that next they’ll want to marry their dogs. Then, I had to get out of the elevator; I was at my floor. Being that I have always thought he was a relatively cool guy, I don’t want to take it any further.
