I can’t believe what a huge deal this proposition was in this election. I have to admit, I couldn’t possibly care less if gay people get married, and I also don’t care if they teach it to my daughter in school.
I voted No for this, but I almost filled in the Yes oval. Want to know why? It was that ad featuring the Gavin Newsom speech where he said “This door’s open now! It’s gonna happen, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!”. I have a real problem with an elected official telling me I going to get something whether I like it or not.
In the end I decided not to punish a whole class of people due to one politician’s arrogance and stupidity, but I believe Mayor Newsom bears a big part of the responsibility as to why this proposition passed.
