Thanks to the people in Canada who are helping out with the boycotts. Just to let you know, when given the opportunity I always buy Canadian. The produce is a lot more money than if I bought Californian but it feels better to support a country that sees me as an equal. The apples are great, also.

OK IM A TEENAGER AN I STILL DNT UNDERSTAND WHY PPL JUS HAVE TO BE SO CRUEL WHEN THEY SEE OTHER PEOPLE TRYIN TO LIVE THEIR LIVES HAPPY. AND THEY PART ABOUT HAVING TO CHANGE WHAT THE SCHOOLS TALK ABOUT (MARRIAGE WISE) THESE KIDS ALREADY KNOW ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY THEIR AROUND IT EACH AND EVERYDAY TEACHERS STUDENTS AND THE FACUTLY. THE ONLY REASON WHY THESE PEOPLE ARE ACTING THIS WAY ABOUT THIS WHOLE SITUATION IS BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY WERE RAISE UP KNOWING WHEN YOUR PARENTS DONT LIKE SOMETHING THE CHILD USELY DOESNT NEITHER THATS WHY RACISM TOOK EFFECT. I FEEL THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE ONLY THINKING OF THEMSELVES IF A GAY COUPLE WANTS TO GET MARRIED THEN WHY SHOULD IT BE ANYBODY ELSES BUSINESS???
GAY PPL HAVE THE EXACT SAME RIGHTS AND PRIVILEDGES AS ANYBODY ELSE ONLY DIFFERENCE ABOUT THEM IS THAT THEY LIKE THEIR SAME SEX.. [[BIG DEAL]]

U CANT STAND THAT THE FACT THAT SOMEBODY IS ACTUALLY IS HAPPY. I DNT KNOW WHY ITS SUCH A BIG DEAL LOVE IS LOVE IT SHOULDNT MATTER WHO IT COMES FROM BECAUSE EVERYONE NEEDS IT. I DNT SEE ANY LAWS OUT HERE ABOUT THESE ANTI-CHRIST PPL. THESE PPL THAT CANT STAND GOD.. I DNT SEE ANYTHING ABOUT THAT IN THE HEADLINES…NOBODY’S DOING ANYTHING TO HELP PREVENT ALL THESE YOUNG TEENAGERS HAVING BABIES. I KNOW KIDS THAT ARE 12 AND 13 HAVING SEX AND HAVING BABIES!!!! AND NOBODY’S TRYING TO PURSUE THESE KIDS TO NOT DO. EVERYBODY IS DIFFERNT EVERYONE DOESNT LIKE THE SAME THING AND THATS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANY OF US TO DO THAT.

Glen — No need to worry about us up here. We are well aware of which companies have chosen to throw our brothers and sisters under the bus state side. We have and will continue to deal with those companies and individuals until all people are given the simple dignity that we are lucky to have here.

Don’t forget to keep your friends north of the border informed. After all these companies also carry on business up here, and companies like Home Depot, Walmart, Lowes, etc. are having big enough problems here already.

Corporations are not voters, corporations are headed and made up by people who vote.
All who gave substantial financial aid to Prop 8 need to be made accountable for their bigotry, treating them with kid gloves will be taking by our foes as condoning what they have done. And as a green light for them to do it again.

It’s about time we start to show our teeth!
Instead of the effete response we always give those who harm us.

There are no rules when you’re talking about California’s Banana Republic government.

“They,” by which I mean Schwarzenegger, Fienstein, Villaraigosa, Pelosi, Brown, and assorted friends, let the vote go forward because they thought: (A) it would get voted down and (B) the gays wouldn’t care much if it somehow defied expectations and passed. Both assumptions turned out to be false. The Supreme Court also bounced it around because they didn’t want to run for re-election in 2010 with the specter of same-sex marriage around their necks. So much for that idea.

So, now the embarassed government has been put into the ridiculous position of… going to the same court that didn’t act when it should have… to sue their own people. Did I mention they’re paying for this by using the taxes of the same people who voted for Prop. 8?

It is an absurdity. Somewhere, a former South American dictator is laughing at the Golden State right about now. Welcome to the idiocy that is California.

It was Attorney General Jerry Brown who approved the ballot initiative in the first place to get signatures. I’m still not sure how it was okay to submit to voters, but then not okay once the voters approved it. (I personally believe it was NOT okay at all)

I’m also still wondering how it’s legal to collect signatures under the premise of “it’s just reinforcing existing law” and then to have the ballot voted on after that foundation was reversed. You’d think they would’ve had to start all over getting signatures.

People need to live where they stand. They will likely lose these lawsuits. Even progressives should have their donations disclosed. The real issue is that the California Supreme Court dropped the ball on their reponsibility to give the appropriate weight to domestic tranquility…meaning prop 8 should never have been allowed on the ballot by the Court which had the opportunity to prevent it from doing so. This is the real abomination of this entire situation. Transparency is a good thing in the long run for both sides.
