I was almost moved to tears when a girl from a family headed by a lesbian couple took the stage and in a heartfelt speech asked why California voters didn't care about protecting her mothers' marriage and her family. This past weekend I went to Fresno to attend the rally against the California Supreme Court decision to uphold Proposition eight.
I'm a southern born boy, so pushing my political views out in the public and demanding things is definately not part of my upbringing. I have to admit I was scared to go to what I was told to be a protest. However, a few good things came out of it. Including the inspiration to finally create this poster I envisioned months ago. I know it might have been more helpful if I had published this poster during the campaign, but I just kept putting it off.
I felt so strange printing out a Yes on 8 sign with my printer, in my room. But, I had to in order to rip up the picture of the family from the original poster so I could scan it. When I was finished, I was so relieved to recycle all the the remnants of the Yes on 8 sign. PHEW! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the message in my poster and that it spreads around the internet. Remember, the children of gay families are suffering as a consequence for Prop 8!
