sfgate.com — Still, the potential victory for the proposition didn't squelch some of the more festive demonstrations of support. Inside a closed-off block of Castro Street between Market and 18th streets, several thousand refused to stop their revelry. "If it's passed, the legal counsel for No on 8 will find a way to bring it to the surface again and defeat it"

Discrimination Will never disappear, We will just have to keep living with it for the rest of our lives. =/

I'm against Prop 8, but I completely disagree with you. Marriage is a legal contract that carries with it rights and responsibilities that can only be protected and enforced by the government. That's the whole thing this fight is about.

What racial discrimination has suddenly been overcome with the election of Obama?

Hopefully Obama introduces nationwide civil unions which are all but marriage in name. This kind of stupid ignorance and intolerance needs to go away.

No, "separate but equal" isn't. Married is married, and relegating gays to "not quite good enough to actually marry" is petty and unfair.

That is the problem exactly. The fight should not be to let gay / lesbian couples marry, but to make the government stop calling them marriages. The government's responsibility should be to issue civil unions regardless of whether they are gay, straight or alien and to enforce the rules and rights that come with that. If you want to be "married", find a church that agrees with you.

They get benefits for being married. Like less taxes. So of course gays should get it too. It just goes to show what 20 million dollars will do politically (which is what the Mormons spent) to the minds of the f**ktarded. Yet another obvious loss for capitalism.

@davidg11. Yes its not as bad as being lynched. But logically if you can't support gay marriage you can support lynching.@qwertyxuiop. Would not coming to terms with discrimination be conquering it? jack ass!!!

Would the same people who voted "Yes" on Prop 8 have voted to outlaw divorce? What about promiscuity?If people are so into using the law to dictate and regulate morality, then why stop short of other activities which are immoral?
