Sure to piss people off referendum 71 seriously?
So, after the elections it seems as if ref 71 is approved. Now as someone who could careless if it passed or not, was does this mean? Does it mean that lesbians and gays will fight for other stuff, will they fight for legalizing marriage in Wa? In the news it stated that the organizaitons were happy it passed but then bitched about it having to come to this, which simply means you cant be happy. It got passed and instead of praising, you continue to complain.
My issue with all of this is that i'm actually on your side, however it is the way that you all have gone about it. Fighting for rights should be because of human rights, not gay and lesbian rights...HUMAN rights!!! I feel sorry for the battles that are ahead but it seems as if our country has loss the basis of its foundation.
Hort: Agreed im from Va and i have to say in the south alot of this stuff wouldnt fly.
tat: hahahaha
evan: Injustice?..perhaps but to me it seems that its just something to fight against...

I hope the gays get what they want soon bc I am pushing for legalizing polygamy and allowing 14 year olds to sleep with anyone they are attracted to .

Of course the GLBT community will continue to fight for their rights elsewhere! That's how civil rights movements work.
The reason they're angry that it even came to this is because it's more bittersweet than anything. Equality between people is just common sense and should have originally been in place but the fact that even today and with all the information that is out there, there is still civil inequality in -in a 1st world country at that!
GLBT rights are a part of human rights and really only after we get BASIC human rights down can we move on to the bigger stuff such as poverty. These things take time and you cannot do everything at once. A few examples would be rights for different races, women's rights. Both of those had their time and right now we're seeing a focus on GLBT rights and I think within the next couple years or so that will be done with because people are eventually going to have to recognize the injustice being done to a large group of people.
