Who cares about proposition 8?
Oh dear! What a statement! Full of bigotry? Nah, not really.
Unless you,as an individual are feeling short changed in life by statutory restrictions on your desire for a same sex marriage then whether ss marriages are 'legal' or not is irrelevant. If it is not, then using this matter as an excuse to whinge and moan about 'another restriction on civil liberties' is just another statute 'picked out of a hat' to vent your spleen upon and you could do that with thousands.
I'm not a kid, and I'm not special, and I can honestly say that during the 50 plus years of my time on this planet, not one social statute or reform, good or bad, has ever had any effect on my life or how I desire to live it. However, financial related statutes and reforms, have.
Ask youself this, what difference will it make to your life, whether Bill and Fred, the gay guys next door, or Suzie and Jane, the lesbians accross the road, are married or not?

How refreshingly navel-gazingly myopic of you. Here is a new flash - Trans*women in most states are LEGALLY MALE before surgery. In some states even after. Guess what this means for those inconsequential shemales?
You know what I don't give two pints of piss about? Married (hetero) whore-mongers doin' the dirty with gals like me and then treating us like shit come voting time. Some of us would like to settle down and not have to file scads of paperwork to simulate the protections afforded by a 30 minute $30 trip to the courthouse. Those same simulations that are routinely dismissed in courts when the real bad stuff comes down.
Also, the gay guys and the lesbians are part of my greater community. Even if I could be married legally, it's a simple matter of fairness that they have the same recourse I do.
Do I think you are a bigot? Probably not. I am surprised that someone who oggles bodies like mine would be so damn clueless and/or plain flat out self-centered (I gots mine - and I'm not bothered if you gets yours).
Oh and what's up with "Unless you,as an individual are feeling short changed in life by statutory restrictions on your desire for a same sex marriage..."??? You do realize that to the general population, YOU my good man, are the faggiest fag that ever fagged in Faggsville.
