At 95% of precincts reporting, it looks as though Prop 8 is passing. Congratulations Californians, you've officially written BIGOTRY into the STATE CONSTITUTION! You officially care about CHICKENS more than you do about PEOPLE! I couldn't be more incensed and ashamed!

What REALLY saddens me is looking at the CNN exit polling on Prop 8. Most of the voting by racial demographic is surprisingly evenly split. Even the Latino vote is 53/47, which caught me off-guard with the strong Roman Catholic influences there. Only one racial demographic stands out from that near even split - African-Americans voted SEVENTY PERCENT in favor of prop 8.

Seventy percent...

That statistic fills me with sorrow.

Especially considering the lengths the black community went to 40 years ago to gain equality for themselves.

I say, hell with it, if the Jesus freaks want to be asshole bigots and monopolize marriage let them. Just remove "marriage" from secular government. Make every couple get a civil union and then go get "married" by their priest/rabbi if they want.

I know plenty of non religious folk that would rather not be married if they could have the same rights while distancing themselves from religious asshats.

What's next, making it illegal for atheists to get married?
