Nov. 5th, 2008 01:46 pmThat 8 passed pisses me off. A lot.
I always knew prop 8 was bad, but there's a detail about it I'd missed the first time around. One of my coworkers has a friend who is going to get deported because of this. She's from another country and is married to a California woman. The two of them have adopted a daughter. When prop 8 goes through, their marriage will be invalidated, she'll lose her citizenship-by-marriage and her rights as a parent. The family will be broken up, the child may actually end up with a foster family, and the woman will likely be deported.
Fuck you, 52.5% of California.
