Proposition 8 – The Aftermath
SFist.com
Proposition 8 was a statewide ballot proposition in California, pushed by, among others, mormons throughout the state. On November 4, 2008, voters approved the measure and made same-sex marriage illegal in California. In the aftermath of the vote, an intense focus on Proposition 8 has continued, with those who support same-sex marriage coming together every day since the election in rallies and protests. Three lawsuits seeking to invalidate Proposition 8 have been filed. It is not yet clear what impact the ban will have on the approximately 18,000 same-sex couples in the state.

Wait, wouldn’t the legitimization of gay-marriage open the door to polygamy? Wow, talk about shooting yourself in the foot…

fyi…i recently turned off the feature that would automatically link any image you embed to the image itself, either in the media gallery (if you uploaded) or to the original location of the image (if you just linked). 99.9% of time, readers don’t need a link to the original image.
but this is a good example of when you’d want to link, since you can’t read the wonderful “FUCK MORMONS” at that size.
If you want to allow readers to click on the pic so they can see it bigger (if the original is in fact bigger than the version you embedded), then make sure you click “Link to image” when you add the pic.
I fixed this one already.

Also, Ramblers, PLEASE make sure you are linking back to the source for your material. I don’t want to receive nasty emails from pissed-off bloggers. They’re even worse than regular bloggers. Always link to the original story and/or give photo credit, especially when the work is highly original.
Again, I will fix this one. Please follow the same format.
