Whatever, California.

I'm not a legal scholar, so I can't dissect the California Supreme Court's decision to uphold Prop. 8 to figure out if it contains the seeds of Prop. 8's undoing. Some of my friends and Facebook acquaintances are sure that the Supremes found for the haters with a very narrow interpretation of the law, leaving room for future challenges, because they (the aforementioned Supremes) are actually supportive of equal protection under the Constitution for same-sex couples in reality. After all, thousands of queers are still legally married. The whole thing just makes me tired and confused. Why do we have a legal system that allows murderers to walk free when everyone knows they're guilty, and that reinforces bigotry and fear even though that's not what the justices believe in personally?

Whatever.

I do believe we'll reverse Prop. 8 in the near future (the margin was so narrow, after all – just a few percentage points – and has been steadily narrowing in recent years). I'm just really sick of being a second-class citizen. Lots of my friends are marching in protest tonight, but I'm going to bed.
