Ooops — the gay marriage ban in California just got upheld by the CA supreme court.

There likely will be riots in San Francisco later today.

Should I cancel all my other responsibilities and go cover it?

(Proviso: I’m OK with gay marriage, and personally voted against Prop. 8 [i.e. I voted to allow gay marriage]; but I also respect the principles of democracy, and if Prop. 8 passed, which it did, then I think the vote should be upheld. Otherwise, elections are meaningless.)

My schedule will abide by the lizard vote!

Does Prop 8 really cause suffering and hardship in the gay community (other than hurt feelings). Don’t they already have full civil partnership rights just like married heterosexuals?
