    anyone who supports prop 8 is the most uncaring non-religious inhuman scum ..> to deny people freedom and love is wrong.

    to think they couldn't even get the votes :frowning2:

    /\ technically you cannot deny love. They are denying gay marraige, which I believe should be equal for all, but I believe, quite frankly, that we have bigger concerns in the gay community than being allowed to marry.

    As for not being able to find the votes, I find it odd considering how narrowly Prop 8 was passed when it was voted on... add to that, the fact I've never even heard of this ballot...

    I wonder how many signatures they actually got.

    did not just call me on the deniability of love :/

    the emotion can be denied itself but that's another matter and far to long to go into, but cultures can deny you your love, from being with those you love, and in this case this culture is denying those to form unions with the one they love, so i concede they aren't denying the love itself here but they are denying the ratification of the love.

    you get partial credit for the case at hand but...overall..detention :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I was out in Cali back when they recalled their previous governor. They had people outside supermarkets with tables asking for signatures..I wonder if that is the same approach they used this time, or if for some reason, they decided against doing it?

    Perhaps folks are burnt out after 2008.

    Almost all the major gay organizations didn't help at all with signature gathering, because they think it's better to do it in 2012 rather than right now. And there's the court case going on, and other things.
