Hi Fedi Family,
In 2008 Californians voted for Prop8 that defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman in the California constitution. While this was defeated in courts this draconian Prop8 language is still in the California constitution. Justice tHomas and the right wing SCOTUS is openly hinting at destroying precedent and trampling rights. If they overturned Obergefell - the Prop8 language in the California Constitution will act as a “trigger law”, raining havoc on queer families like mine across California.
Please spread the word to vote “YES” to repeal Prop8 (2008) from the California constitution in Nov 2024. Talk to your friends, family and colleagues about it.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell@yazad3 Loving is protected because of Clarence Thomas, who won't mind destroying everything else but who will protect his own marriage.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell I completely agree with you, no one's rights are safe. They may come for some sooner and others later, but they'll come for us all.
@yazad3 The not-so-fun fact: the republican strategists who pushed ballot props to block #gayMarriage did not actually give a shit one way or another what the marriage outcome was. It was just a sneaky trick to motivate a non-voting segment of elderly R voters to the polls, who would be damned if gays could marry. And of course once they’re in the voting booth they tick the R boxes as well.
So the reversal propositions might have the same effect (more R votes from otherwise unmotivated voters).
@hyakinthos You are absolutely right. There are times when Rs collect signatures to inflammatory propositions some unconstitutional just to get their base riled up.
