The Chant Ends With "Get Used To It"

Congratulations to California. Today Proposition 8 was overturned.

Sort of.

I say sort of because what really happened was closer to the
courts saying, “how in the hell did you guys let this thing pass to begin with?”

If you haven’t been paying close attention to this story it’s
been a little goofy and confusing but here’s the short version.

Once upon a time, some folks got together and decided that
it would be sorta nice if gay people could get married too. Some of them lived in California so they
worked hard to get it approved and oh what a glorious day it was. We’ll call them “The Happy Peeps” since gay
literally means happy.

Then some other folks got together and decided that it
really made them feel bad about themselves to know that “The Gays” were getting
married just like normal god fearin folk. After all, it’s really unnatural, and not what God intended. Let’s call this group “The Dumbshits”
because, well, sometimes this thing writes itself. So a few years after The Happy Peeps did
their thing, The Dumbshits had it reversed, and thus Proposition 8 was born.

Now I could go into some of the weird things that are in the
Bible that everyone, including The Dumbshits frown upon. I could also go into a little bit of the
Constitution and explain all the different reasons this was COMPLETELY AND
UTTERLY ILLEGAL. I could even go into
how the folks that backed Prop 8 worded things on the ballot in such a way as
to intentionally confuse those that would have voted against it. But this is supposed to be the short version.

Besides. I don’t have
to explain further, because today Appeals Court Judge Stephen Reinhardt announced
that the California voters violated the Constitution by “taking away from them
alone the right they had won to marry”.

In layman’s terms Prop 8 was completely and utterly illegal.

And so for now Prop 8 is dead. That is until the Dumbshits get together and
try something new, which they are bound to.

As a comedian once said, “If you don’t like Gay Marriage…don’t
get Gay Married”
