In California’s gay community prop 8 is a well known issue.
About a year ago the state voted on a bill outlawing same sex marriage,the bill would be added the California's Constitution, surprisingly passed with a small 300,000 lead.
At this time there’s a trial going on Perry vs. Schwarzenegger
The case argues that a bill outlawing same sex marriage is in fact unconstitutional. The bill violates the 14th amendment which protects against any segregation and also provides all citizens are entitled to the same rights. The case against prop 8 gives many economical, psychological and social reasons that prop 8 is “bad” for the nation. The most important thing is really that this is a direct violation of civil rights, not allowing me or any person the same rights that there fellow American have is a violation of civil rights. It seems this fact is hardest to prove to straight people. It comes down to proving that being gay is not a choice ( not that I think it should matter ) but at this point proving that gayness is a minority is high on the list.
