Hey, as long as we're talking about yes-on-8, here's a letter I found on my doorstep (along with our No on 8 sign) when I got back from trick-or-treating with my kids:

Hi neighbor,

We live @ [redacted] & our next door neighbor came by to tell us our No on 8 sign was missing.

They told us their sign was knocked down.

I decided to check other houses with signs & saw yours missing, too. It was in your trash can. I pulled it out & placed it at your front door.

Pretty outrageous that some parent or teen who came to our doors for candy had the audacity to steal our signs. We still have not found our sign.

Thought you would like to know why your sign is at your front door.

[names redacted]

As I said to them via a note in return, my frustration with someone throwing our sign in the trash was more than offset by knowing we have good neighbors looking out for us.

Oh, and within 24 hours, they had a new sign, and suddenly many of their neighbors had put up signs as well.

Let America be America Again

Let America be America again.
Let it be the dream it used to be.
Let it be the pioneer on the plain
Seeking a home where he himself is free.

(America never was America to me.)

Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed--
Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
That any man be crushed by one above.

(It never was America to me.)

O, let my land be a land where Liberty
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath,
But opportunity is real, and life is free,
Equality is in the air we breathe.

(There's never been equality for me,
Nor freedom in this "homeland of the free.")

Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark?
And who are you that draws your veil across the stars?

I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart,
I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars.
I am the red man driven from the land,
I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek--
And finding only the same old stupid plan
Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak.

I am the young man, full of strength and hope,
Tangled in that ancient endless chain
Of profit, power, gain, of grab the land!
Of grab the gold! Of grab the ways of satisfying need!
Of work the men! Of take the pay!
Of owning everything for one's own greed!

I am the farmer, bondsman to the soil.
I am the worker sold to the machine.
I am the Negro, servant to you all.
I am the people, humble, hungry, mean--
Hungry yet today despite the dream.
Beaten yet today--O, Pioneers!
I am the man who never got ahead,
The poorest worker bartered through the years.

Yet I'm the one who dreamt our basic dream
In the Old World while still a serf of kings,
Who dreamt a dream so strong, so brave, so true,
That even yet its mighty daring sings
In every brick and stone, in every furrow turned
That's made America the land it has become.
O, I'm the man who sailed those early seas
In search of what I meant to be my home--
For I'm the one who left dark Ireland's shore,
And Poland's plain, and England's grassy lea,
And torn from Black Africa's strand I came
To build a "homeland of the free."

The free?

Who said the free? Not me?
Surely not me? The millions on relief today?
The millions shot down when we strike?
The millions who have nothing for our pay?
For all the dreams we've dreamed
And all the songs we've sung
And all the hopes we've held
And all the flags we've hung,
The millions who have nothing for our pay--
Except the dream that's almost dead today.

O, let America be America again--
The land that never has been yet--
And yet must be--the land where every man is free.
The land that's mine--the poor man's, Indian's, Negro's, ME--
Who made America,
Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain,
Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain,
Must bring back our mighty dream again.

Sure, call me any ugly name you choose--
The steel of freedom does not stain.
From those who live like leeches on the people's lives,
We must take back our land again,
America!

O, yes,
I say it plain,
America never was America to me,
And yet I swear this oath--
America will be!

Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death,
The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies,
We, the people, must redeem
The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers.
The mountains and the endless plain--
All, all the stretch of these great green states--
And make America again!

This poem is one by Langston Hughes, whose name contains HUG.

You know, I grew up in California and my family is still there, although this was the first year I didn't vote in that state. I would not have voted for Prop 8, fwiw.

But I don't get the hate thing, the general punch-them-in-the-genitals attitude. I don't get it across the board (by that I mean not just on Prop 8 but in general). As much as we may disagree with the outcome, the state's voters got what they wanted. The majority of them are those who would vote for Prop 8, and their voice was heard. The power of democracy flourished there. And so our response is one of hate?

Call me what you will, but that seems a bit hypocritical in a thread about hugs in a time of change.

I'd humbly suggest the higher and more productive response should be one of "we didn't work hard enough and need to work harder next time around to convince those who think otherwise." Or, as a better man than me once said:

Always be sure that you struggle with Christian methods and Christian weapons. Never succumb to the temptation of becoming bitter. As you press on for justice, be sure to move with dignity and discipline, using only the weapon of love. Let no man pull you so low as to hate him. Always avoid violence. If you succumb to the temptation of using violence in your struggle, unborn generations will be the recipients of a long and desolate night of bitterness, and your chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless chaos. In your struggle for justice, let your oppressor know that you are not attempting to defeat or humiliate him, or even to pay him back for injustices that he has heaped upon you. Let him know that you are merely seeking justice for him as well as yourself. – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Yup, hugs to all save those who voted for the bullshit that is Prop 8.

Since the Mormons have decided we are Of The Devil and have effectively declared war, I say queerdom should respond in the only way they'll understand: we leverage our apparent demonic powers to bring down a plague of crickets on Utah and shoot down any gull that dares to cast a shadow upon our crawling vengeance.

There are still ballots to be counted for Prop 8, from the mail & the 5% unreported districts, which might be urban areas, which might lean against it.

The polling was against it by 5-10%, so I'm surprised & disappointed at the numbers right now, but that might be temporary.

allkindsoftime: The majority of them are those who would vote for Prop 8, and their voice was heard. The power of democracy flourished there. And so our response is one of hate?

I understand your point, and I would really, really like to be able to be so Buddha-like about it. But, yes, my first response is anger because "this is democracy" feels like such a white-washing of it.

What percentage of Californians are homosexual; 20% at most? I think that's a pretty high guesstimate, even with the gay-mecca aspect. Any vote on the matter is going to come down to what the heteros want to allow the homos to do. Since Prop 8 sets no limits whatsoever on what California heteros can do, it really smacks of oppression. From their perspective it's not "I don't want to be able to marry someone of my own gender"; it's "I don't want them to be able to marry eachother."

It's as within the spirit of democracy as the brunettes and blonds of the world deciding that redheads are an abomination and should be put to death.

The voters got what they wanted in Jim Crow laws, too, until they were struck down by federal law. I don't want to punch the people who voted "yes" but I do note that every 2 years more states pass these laws. There is a distinct trend-- much of the nation prefers a tyranny of the majority to equality, and that is very disturbing.

It was pretty shocking to see the prop 8 returns come in last night. Recent polling seemed to show a close race, but with the proposition being defeated. It's a huge setback, but it's not the end, by any means. Andrew Sullivan posted this reader's email yesterday on his blog, and I've been thinking about it a lot this morning:

"I voted here in San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood about two hours ago. It took about an hour to get through the line, and while standing there I was chatting with the 75-year-old retired cop in front of me, and the young 30-something gay couple in front of him, who had their two little girls in tow.

Everyone was in good spirits as the conversation moved from the Obama-McCain contest to the farce that is Sarah Palin, and then on to non-political matters, like the road work being done on the next block. The conversation between the cop and the couple started to get animated toward the end of our hour in line as the three men began to discuss the current football season, wagering bets for this weekend's games and making predictions for the Super Bowl.

And then, as we entered the firehouse that doubled as our polling place, as the couple and their daughters stepped out of line and up to the table to receive their ballots, I observed the cop in front of me. He opened his sample ballot, took out his pen, scribbled out his "yes" vote on Proposition 8, and filled in the ballot line for "no."

I don't think he knew that I observed him. And since it was such a private moment I held back my tears of joy and my overwhelming desire to pat him on the back and say "thank you, sir." Instead, I left the polling place muttering to myself those two words you have repeated over and over during this election cycle, Andrew:

KNOW.

HOPE. "

BAD TOUCH

People's rights should be shielded as much as possible from the vagaries of majority votes. That's unfair and wrong.
