The first amendment"all men are created equal"

So to all those who think bigotry is over let me remind you, that if you voted in CA,FL or AZ and voted against gay rights YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR CONSCIOUS....

Especially after watching the people crying on TV saying I cant believe this finally happened about Barack being elected...HOW DID YOU VOTE IN CA OR FL... I guess gay people are not considered people to you.....

Religion is not part of the constitution and after 200 years of waiting for a black president its mind boggling how so many of you had no problem discriminating against another minority..

We are NOT one......yet .... as Barack has hoped .... it is truly staggering to me how one minority can discriminate against another as the vote showed in CA and FL..... when the black vote was 70-30 to take away gay rights on the props....

yep .... how soon people forget what they are voting for ..i guess they cant even remember after they voted for the president, in the election booth....

For all of you who feel gays are not people according to the first amendment....remember how you feel when you are discriminated against and the thoughts that ran through your own minds on why you weren't considered as good as anyone else....

Im white... alot of my friends are white and we all voted for Barack and never even considered race..... but after the election it really became evident amidst all the hoopla on TV that these same people I watched crying in happiness had no problem taking away the rights of another minority....

Its truly amazing....listening to all the people on TV so happy when there is another minority who was thrown under the bus without a second thought...

John Stewart had a wonderful quote.....67% of African Americans in California voted FOR "8"..........I guess the "Oppressee" has Become the "Oppressor".....What did that take , like 24 HOURS......
"FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST......HEY, Where do YOU BOYS think you are going !"
With NO malice..just cruel irony..
SEMPER FI

Well it almost makes me wonder what these people were thinking..or if they even were thinking.... apparently everyone of all races were supposed to look at the candidates qualities in the presidential election and for the most part thats what happened but in the case of the props.... that logic was thrown out the window and sexual bigotry ruled. This country has a long long long way to go. One step forward and one step backward, did we get anywhere?
So I stopped celebrating the election because you can't celebrate the victory of one group at the cost of another...think about it the next time you vote to take civil rights away from someone, people.
It makes me sick to listen to all these people on CNN so happy and statistically they were the same people who consider this election a historical milestone and voted against another group, same ol story, how quickly people forget their own history.
