Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger. . . .
- Henry The Fifth Act 3, scene 1, 1–6
The not unexpected vote from the California Supreme Court : Prop 8 is the law of the land. Sacred marriage in the Golden State is ONLY the right of Opposite sex couples. Except for the 18,000 or so men and women who were married pre prop 8, they are married. So in my glass half full world, California has same sex marriage. It was not about law I guess, as much as the ability to find a caterer in a hurry.
Too many thoughts , and really, we just got kicked in the teeth as a group, so its a little early for all out reflection. " IT'S NOT FAIR" , said with that bottom lip stuck all the way out. Our thick skin becomes us.
It is so SO!, very black and white for gay and lesbian Americans , -right is right and wrong is wrong, etc.. I think this ( get ready for some Orwell) , I think this clarity clouds our vision . I just don't understand why it is such a freaking big deal, why does the other side care so much ? Why do they pick THAT particulate verse in Leviticus to get all bent out of shape over? I don't see throngs of marching Evangelical Hispanics demanding that there be boil and lice checkers at all entrances to public buildings , but they will miss Sunday Lunch to stop same sex marriage. I think it is also news to the larger " US" on what a tiny minority we are....
So, back on the ballot it goes in California, it's already in the works. Pour a truck load more of that LDS money into the state. HEY! on the bright side , there will be NO money out there to keep up roads and sidewalks and such, So, the percentage of buff weho boys who are capable of making to the polls will go up.
