Prop 1 is the new Prop 8

[greenie_breizh]

So Maine pulled a Prop 8 and rejected the marriage equality law that the legislature had passed a few months ago.

What the fuck. I don't even know what to say anymore, because this (or a version thereof) has happened so many fucking times now that it's plain ridiculous. I don't even understand it anymore. Also YOU DON'T FUCKING VOTE ON MINORITY RIGHTS. The more we see these on the ballot, the more that's becoming the most aggravating aspect of it.

Between this and ridiculous grad applications that demand proof that I have $40,000 available in funds to move to the country, I am not feeling partial to the U.S. AT ALL this morning. Ugh.

EDIT: WTF I didn't realize it was the anniversary of Obama's election. Way to fuck it up.

Omg :( America blows on so many levels. I'm sorry about all the grad application complications and what not.

Wow, I'm really shocked with Maine rn.. Maybe I'm just really unaware and naive, but I didn't expect that.

Agreed. Still really, really pissed off.

(Also, $40,000? HOLY SHIT.)

Oh I thought the same shit to be honest.
I literally yelled out in anger, fucking people had the most snug look on their face when they announced their "triumph".
I hate America for this reason, the people mainly against gay marriage are the people stressing family values. And than they are the people who are the first in a room to have an affair.
