California Gay Marriage Update –
From the Los Angeles Times 9/23/2008:
The campaigns for and against Proposition 8 have raised a combined $30 million, with donations given in support of the proposed ban on gay marriage running considerably ahead of those to the opposition.
So my thought when reading this article was why we would waste 30 million dollars to try to stop two people from getting married! What a waste of time, energy and financial resources. According to today’s article Proposition 8 could be the most expensive measure on social issues in history.
But the sad truth is that the conservatives have their followers so afraid that if two people of the same gender get married their own quality of life as they know it will disappear. So the financial donations are just rolling in and unfortunately the LGBTQi community is not keeping up.
This week the television ads have started running to try to frame the voters’ perspective on this issue… and now we get to wait and see if fear will override love, tolerance and acceptance.
