let them say we're crazy

The day of the march was the decision day for Prop 8. Judge Walker ruled prop 8 unconstitutional, ending the ban on gay marriage. After the decision, the judge was attacked in the media because he is openly gay, implying bias and personal activism (I can just hear Sarah Palin meowing about it). When reality is that this judge was appointed by Reagan and was accused of being *too* conservative during his confirmation.

The point is - the ban was unconstitutional. ALL people are created equal, is what they meant to say. Plus, this should never have been put to a popular vote; the result of scare campaigns and idiotic reasoning does not reflect what is right. Allowing interracial marriages would not have been approved by popular vote, but it was the right thing, the "American" thing to do.
