Prop 8 Protest- San Francisco
Naturally, I got there late. I came when others were going but still witnessed those marching for their rights and the rights of others. There was a DJ spinning and people dancing on the corner of 19th and Dolores. I still don’t understand the moment for dancing. I don’t know how to express the disappointment I feel in regards to this outrageous proposition. Someday, the population will look back on this moment in history and express towards it the current distaste and discomfort we feel when we reminisce on the days of segregation. The same question will come forth: “How did they allow it?” So many times throughout history we have asked ourselves that very same question.

marriage is the union between two individuals who love each other, regardless of sexual orientation. proposition 8 is a reflection of the ignorance that is in this country that is in dire need of change and its disregard of beauty in love of all forms.
Sometimes I wonder if government is reaching in too far. But then again the government as we know it was found from Puritan principles so it is no wonder that the government feels morally obligated to push their stringent tendencies on certain laws. I think people should live freely too but at the same time its hard to fight against such a pervasive force.
