It is about discrimination, really it's that simple

I come from a state that had on the books until the late 90's a law that stated that whites and blacks could not marry. It was a law that was not enforced anymore but none the less it had never been removed until the late 1990's. I also come from a state that saw three little girls blown up in a church and dogs let loose on people. It is hard for me to know what is being said outside the state about the Prop 8 campaign, but I will tell you it has gotten pretty nasty. No dogs have been let loose, not fire hoses opened up, but people have been physically attacked and verbally abused, and some how the Yes on 8 campaign has made this be about children. Really of you look at the basics of it all it's about one group of people wanting to discriminate against another group of people and that is a very very very slippery slope people. I am scared for my daughter and I am scared for my country.
