Gods damn it, California, if you do pass Prop 8, I swear I'll boycott your bigoted ass. fwiw.
Ah, hell. Sweet God (Goddess, gods -- let's be eclectic), I live here and want to boycott it!
I'm still trying to think through the cognitive dissonance of our electing a man who was bashed and smeared as being an Arab-named, radical-leftist, secret Muslim terrorist (and possibly the Antichrist!), because we apparently were able to see past that hatred, but we had to slap down gay partnerships, because we just can't have those uppity gays thinking that they have the right to be each other's next-of-kin in medical emergencies, etc.
*stabs Prop 8 just to watch it die*
Proposition K, which would have protected sex workers from police absue and violence, has been defeated.
*sigh* San Frackedupcisco. While I don't really believe in legalizing prostitution, hello, it's the world's oldest profession, it's not going to go away, and keeping the sex workers safe(r) would've made sense. *headdesk*
As far as Prop 4 goes, I'm glad if it lost. It was supposedly aimed at saving girls from sexual predators (who impregnated them, then want them to abort), but as has been pointed out, what about the predators who are the fathers and brothers and uncles, etc.? As a coworker said, "Oh, yes, I'd really want to notify my father if he'd raped and impregnated me."
