It seems so clear that religious definitions of marriage should not be codified in civil laws, and that discrimination should definitely not be enshrined in our constitution. At the heart of it, Prop. 8 asserts that heterosexual relationships are privileged and superior to same-sex relationships, that entails that heterosexuals are worth more to society than queer folk. That is wrong, wrong, wrong. I have zero empathy for people who want to prevent loving couples from establishing and benefiting from a life long commitment. I just can't fathom it.
