Editors note: Opinion of author only.
According to CNN, 53 percent of people that voted "Yes on Prop 8" made up their mind within the last three days.
Do you know what that means?
That means that this was not a condemnation of homosexuality in California, this means that what happened was the result of one of the most highly funded disinformation campaigns in the name of Jesus and bigotry in history.
Did you hear the rumors?
Gays will be able to sue churches for churches denying them marriage ceremonies?
Not true.
Gay marriage will be taught in schools to pre-preschoolers.
Why not teach children the law?
This means that next time this comes around, DONATE MONEY. Maybe that sounds weird, but it is true. The reason eight will probably pass is because Republicans had more money than Democrats were willing to give, and the GOP and church machines were capable of spreading rumors better than we were at diffusing them.
DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. In two years, fight. Don't just hold a sign on a street corner and/or print fliers. Call people. Talk to people on the street.
These are YOUR rights and if you aren't going to actually fight for them next time, then the churches are going to fight again to take them away from you.
My condolences,
Jason Lillard
