It made me sad to see young kids in the group of "Yes on 8" protesters that were located at Hamilton and Winchester in San Jose as I ran errands in the rain today. In addition to the vile message, it seems really inappropriate to bring small kids into the political arena that way.

One of them had a sign that read: "Honk to support traditional marriage"

...no one was honking

I'm going to try and do some phone banking tomorrow, day notwithstanding.

I've been asking everyone I know if they've voted, and how they're voting on 8.

I hope it is enough.

We are on the verge of making history.

i really hope it's enough too. oy gevalt. but, gd forbid, if it passes, we will defeat it again and this time it will stay down :)

i know when i see kids at anti war demos and stuff i'm always like 'yay!'. If I had kids they'd always be at demos. I just get grossed out seeing people raise their kids with backwards, hatefilled intolerance. :( And with this one... sheesh - how many of those kids are going to grow up queer?
