It is 11:15 and we have voted for our president, but cannot determine Prop. 8.
It has been the most controversial Prop of this election, and I guess it is fitting that it is the dramatic point of the election down to the very end of the night.
It is too close to call at this point, but as of this moment, 52.8% have voted yes as 47.2 have voted no.
Personally I hope this conflict is over as soon as possible.
I think it is ridiculous how worked up people have gotten over this proposition. This proposition is something that as soon as you read it, you know right away whether you're going to say yes or no.
People have held rallies, protested at Mt. SAC, and openly shown outrage toward the gay community.
I don't support homosexuality. I have a Christian upbringing and don't believe it is right, but even in saying this, I'm not going to go out and publicly disrespect a group of people.
All the protests and all the rallies weren't set up to persuade people to vote Yes on Prop 8, they were set up to cause attention and make a scene. They were successful in this, but in the end didn't prove anything other than they are willing to openly show hatred.
If you're against something, go ahead and be heard through your vote, but it really made me mad that people made unnecessary scenes.
I feel a bit embarrassed that a group of people decide to do this and now Christians are seen as crazy hateful fanatics.
I refuse to be associated in this way.
I do not condone homosexuality, but I will not show passionate hatred like some of the opposer's. There are plenty of things that people do that I do not support, but I will still show them the same respect that I would want them to show me.
