Prop 8 Sucks

There were really only two things I cared about with this election: who became president and the outcome of Proposition 8 (California's measure to ban gay marriage). Yay - Obama won. Boo - 51% of the people who voted in favor of Prop 8 are morons.

Melissa Etheridge wrote an article in The Daily Beast today; a vent, a rant, a proclamation of her own and I totally agree with her...

Okay. So Prop 8 passed. Alright, I get it. 51% of you think that I am a second class citizen. Alright then. So my wife, uh I mean, roommate? Girlfriend? Special lady friend? You are gonna have to help me here because I am not sure what to call her now. Anyways, she and I are not allowed the same right under the state constitution as any other citizen. Okay, so I am taking that to mean I do not have to pay my state taxes because I am not a full citizen. I mean that would just be wrong, to make someone pay taxes and not give them the same rights, sounds sort of like that taxation without representation thing from the history books.

Okay, cool I don't mean to get too personal here but there is a lot I can do with the extra half a million dollars that I will be keeping instead of handing it over to the state of California. Oh, and I am sure Ellen will be a little excited to keep her bazillion bucks that she pays in taxes too. Wow, come to think of it, there are quite a few of us fortunate gay folks that will be having some extra cash this year. What recession? We're gay! I am sure there will be a little box on the tax forms now single, married, divorced, gay, check here if you are gay, yeah, that's not so bad. Of course all of the waiters and hairdressers and UPS workers and gym teachers and such, they won't have to pay their taxes either.

She's 100% right: Why should people who are denied rights under our constitution pay taxes?

In fact, I'll take it one step further and say that I think that people who supported Proposition 8 should have to pay twice the taxes.

Hmmm...they should also be taxed extra for being stupid, mean, selfish, hateful and intolerant.

And then they should be deported to Douchebag Island.
