What California Has Done
http://alexandertheatheist.blogspot.com/2008/11/what-califor...All Americans who care about genuine liberty should be greatly disappointed in the State of California. With its narrow passage of Proposition 8, "The Golden State" has shown us all that, even with the historic victory of Barack Obama, we have not gone quite as far as we have suspected or would have hoped (source).

Have we learned nothing?
http://cynicroom.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/11/have-we-learn...I am still riding high on the democratic win from Tuesday night, and I would never belittle the meaning of that success. We are finally on the path to turning this country around, and I am very pleased about that. But, at the same time, let's not overlook the fact that in states like California, Florida, and Arizona, to name a few, civil rights are being violated in the disguise of a constitutional amendment.

Arkansas, hear this!
http://examinedlives.typepad.com/examined_lives/2008/11/anot...We're not out of the woods yet, folks. I've just read that bans on gay marriage in three states have been approved. It's bad enough that people waste time and money on a prejudice that, for most of the developed world, is a non-issue. I have a hard time not being ugly right back with some choice words for said states. But I won't be ugly. I'll be calm and cool, like our new president. [...]

H - E - DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS
http://talesofanordinaryhousewife.blogspot.com/2008/11/h-e-d...This image courtesy of Fox News. Here's one of my favorite images from yesterday's protests against the passing of Proposition 8. Can you imagine the hysteria that would erupt if I were to hold a sign saying, "Go to hell [insert derogatory insult to homosexuals here]!" Just another double standard. This was on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, just down the street from the temple. [...]

We are doing it again
http://digdeepertexas.com/2008/11/06/we-are-doing-it-again/Los Angeles stops issuing marriage licenses to gay couples - CNN.com "This is a great day for marriage," Ron Prentice, chairman of ProtectMarriage.com, said in a statement. "The people of California stood up for traditional marriage and reclaimed this great institution." Along with my happiness about the change in color of the executive and legislative branches of the government came sadness about the ballot initiatives that were passed in several states. [...]

Even California Intolerant To Gays
http://www.sillyman.org/2008/11/even-california-intolerant-t...(CNN) A few months ago, the California Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to ban gay marriage. A million cheers and a flood of marriage licenses later, the dream is again gone for millions of Americans who were seeking what every heterosexual American in the nation now has - the right to marry whomever they love. Last Tuesday made history. Our country elected the first African American man to the highest office. [...]

Same sex marriage banned in California
http://conversationattheedge.com/2008/11/06/same-sex-marriag...I’m surprised that Proposition 8 passed, banning same sex marriage in California. I didn’t think that many people would be that intent on banning same sex marriage. I’m not surprised opponents of the ban are upset. I understand that Bible-believing Christians are against it but I assume that to pass, a lot of other people must have voted ‘yes’ also. A lot of money was spent by people on both sides of the issue.
