Repeal Prop. 8
Posted in Goods, News, Politics on November 8th, 2008 by Hyphen
As I mentioned earlier, Tuesday was an incredible day in history and damn near everyone/thing I was rooting for ended up winning (*crosses fingers for Al Franken’s recount*). However, in the same day that we took a huge step towards equality by electing Barack Obama as our 44th President, Californians voted yes on Propisition 8 and banned gay marriage. Again, the idea that one could vote for acceptance and discrimination on the same ballot is sickening, disappointing, and confusing.
People have been protesting in the streets all over California this past week and the court battles have just started. It’s critical that they keep up that fight and it’s important for us non-Cali residents (*hides Cali driver’s license from WA DMV*) support as best we can.
One simple way is to cop these “Repeal Prop. 8” t-shirts from ChunkyTees right here. You can either buy one for $10, or more than 3 for $8 each, with all the money going to the cost of pressing and shipping them. In other words, this isn’t a money making venture. This is an important statement we can make to the world about equal rights. Dr. King’s words have never been more true than they are today.
