It cannot be denied that this feels like a punch in the gut. It is. I'm not going to pretend that the wound isn't deep and personal, like an attack on my own family. It was meant to be. Many Obama supporters voted against our rights, and Obama himself opposes our full civil equality.

Doesn't it seem wrong that a simple majority can pass a Constitutional amendment in a referendum? I must confess some ignorance of state Constitutional issues, but no minority is safe from a process that can deny any basic civil right whenever a razor thin majority desires it. If not for incorporation of federal constitutional rights, this would be a recipe for unrelenting tyranny.

I thought the same thing. I thought that 3/4 of a majority was what it took. I suppose certain states have different rules.

I was very disappointed that so many would vote to hurt so many others. Because, to me, that is all this is. Hurt others in the name of protecting your idea of godliness.

Now, when do we get to vote on the civil rights of evangelical fundamentalists? I wanna make sure I don't miss that one.
