I swear, bookblogging to come after this.

I'm still cautiously happy about the election results (Secret Service, please be awesome), but goddamn, I am so disappointed about Prop 8. Again, I don't think marriage should be the be-all-end-all of GLBT activism, but just... argh! Constitution change! Legal precedents! Taking away rights in the state constitution!

On a side note, if you're going to talk about API campaigners for Prop 8, please also take note of all the API groups that stood up against it as well.

I don't think marriage rights are the sum total of GLBT issues either, but since it was the only specifically GLBT issue on the ballot in CA this election, I think the spotlight on it is indicative of that rather than anyone's feelings or lack of same on other GLBT issues.

What does API stand for?

[oyceter]

Yeah, me too. And just... taking away rights in the constitution! Not right!

API is Asian/Pacific Islanders.

Oooooh, okay that post now makes a lot more sense.

Can I stand up for Mormons, while we're here? Because I'm not Mormon but dude, not all Mormons are like that.

Yes, definitely, and thank you!
