How I felt as Prop 8 took hold in California.

Now, in New York, we have a chance for a Democrat Senate Majority leader for the first time in decades. Sen. Malcolm Smith is up for majority leader. Because he supports eventually allowing gay marriage (economy is priority, as it should be), 4 democrats are threatening to vote Republican.

These four men are prioritizing gay marriage over every other issue...over everything else their party stands for. They are using the tiebreaker vote as a bargaining chip for their own agenda. That is selfish, petty, and manipulative. It saddens me that such people represent the people.

They also want to create a ballot for banning gay marriage.

I'm worried.

I have a 5 foot india ink coming with a similar theme.
I also want to work on a more hopeful picture about keeping up the effort and hope.

beautiful.


yeah prop 8 is one of the stupidest laws ever passed in America--so much for land of the free, let's go make some more people second class citizens for no reason at all!

bastard politicians, they piss me off.

This is beautiful. The colors really caught my eye.

I'm certainly with you on this--I felt the same way.

Ironically, that's how SoCal feels right about now.

Mmmmm fires.

I heard about it.
I hope they get it under control soon.

Fave'd. Hopefully your state can do better with this than ours did.

Homosexuality is only a disadvantage on an evolutionary basis.
Bigotry, however, will really mess up society.

Well there's no telling. There was one in my college's town that was contained, and now there's big fires in 3 out of 4 counties on my way down home.

The last big set of fires from the summer went on for weeks. I remember driving past and the sky was nearly black.

Thank you.

I hear that 53% of voters approved Gov Patterson's ruling that out-of-state gay marriages were to be acknowledged in NY. 40% disapproved.

It sounds like good odds, but it looked that way in Cali too. There may not be an accurate sampling of our rural areas in upstate NY.

Yeah, it was really just the last couple of months that killed us - the Yes on 8 crowd were really agressive in getting to undecided voters. I really regret not getting out and doing more campaining for No on 8, myself.
