My Top Story

Prop 8 Doesn't Pass

This story was of great importance to me during this election. The fact that it didn't pass is completely ludicrous to me. The prop wasn't about teaching marriage in schools. How many times did you hear about how your parents were married in grade school as a kid? Never! I was never taught about heterosexual marriage in school growing up. Homosexual marriage was not going to be taught to our kids. I think its ignorant of voters to think that..and make a decision based on that false information, which i fear a lot of voters did. If voters simply did not agree that homosexual couples deserved the same rights as heterosexual couples then there is nothing I can say to that, they are entitled to their opinion I guess. But it frustrates me that there is so much ignorance in this country. I feel this story was well covered and it was interesting to watch it unravel this week.
