Because I am from New England, I was watching the results of the vote on gay marriage going on in Maine. From the title of this post you can probably tell how I feel about the results.
Last year, I wrote about my disappointment with the outcome of Prop 8 here in California.
Most of my links from that earlier post don't seem to work anymore, but here's a new one:
The man who ran the campaign in California also ran Maine's Yes on 1 campaign. I think it is a shame that they used the same tactic of misleading people about how the law would impact what was taught to our vulnerable, innocent children in schools. Lying stinks. Let's teach that to our children.
You know what I hope that they are teaching in our schools? Civility and basic human decency. You can't make fun of Johnny because he has two Moms. You can't pick on Jenny because she likes to play with trucks. Some people don't look just like you. Some people don't act or think just like you. They deserve your respect and you should treat them with kindness. If they are reading a book about how different families look, that is what they are teaching.

Hi ho sister.
Sucks big time.
I love how passionate you are about it though, especially since you're so damn straight.
