"I'm not your special faggot friend that you look down on but keep around for color, I'm a human being, me and my kind are entitled to equal protection under the law, and until you accept that, you are absolutely no friend of mine." -- joedecker, (entry dated 2010-11-30 but apparently posted 2009-05-26)

"The California Supreme Court just called itself a toothless, irrelevant body. They trying to gum their way out of this by proclaiming that the marriages performed before Prop 8 made it illegal, are still valid. HA! Talk about pretzel logic. No amount of Poly-Grip will keep those dentures in place - especially when in a few years the demographics kick in and same-sex marriage goes back on the ballot. What then? If Prop 8 gets overthrown and gays get the right to marriage (again), what does that say about the process of voter referendums? Rights can be given and taken away by voter whim?" -- malada, 2009-05-26

"Proposition 8 represents an unprecedented instance of a majority of voters altering the meaning of the equal protection clause by modifying the California Constitution to require deprivation of a fundamental right on the basis of a suspect classification. The majority's holding is not just a defeat same-sex couples, but for any minority group that seeks the protection of the equal protection clause of the California Constitution." -- California Supreme Court Justice Moreno, Concurring And Dissenting Opinion in the Prop 8 case, 2009-05-26 (emphasis added)

"I'm done pandering to the bigotry and ignorance of people who want me to remain a second-class citizen. Done. Finished.
