Sick of seeing this political ad

I cannot tell you how sickened I am every time I see the "Yes on 8" ad. (this is in the State of California) For anyone not familiar with it, let me fill you in. In 2000, California voters passed Prop 22 defining marriage as a contract between heterosexual couples. After many rebellious events by the SF Mayor allowing homosexual marriage, many court cases were initiate, one of which reached the California Supreme Court. The court ruled that Prop 22 violated the equal protection clause of the Ca. Constitution. Now every couple is recognized equally under the law. Now Prop 8 is out to reverse the Court's decision by once again defining marriage as between a man & a woman. Despite the fact that I am against the principle of the Proposition, the ad that they are running is repulsive. It begins with the gloom and doom, evil judges imposing horror on California, blah blah blah. But then they trot out this expert who says that this law legislates people's personal beliefs and will cause discrimination law suits against churches, etc. It is a throw-back to post-Civil War Jim Crow tactics. And it is absolute idiocy. The legislature & the Court cannot Legislate BELIEFS. If an individual chooses to discriminate against others - that is their choice, but in this state all people have equal rights! After the Civil War, plenty of people were angry about the United States Government LEGISLATING that all men (despite the color of their skin) were equal citizens under the law. It did not matter that the law said it was so, it took more that 100 years for African-American's to be truly treated as equals; and some people still choose to hold onto their prejudices!

So I guess what I am trying to say is - it is WRONG to legislate and uphold inequality. People don't have to LIKE it or BELIEVE it, but they do have to RESPECT it!

So, any Californian who blunders across my blog, please VOTE NO ON 8!!!
