Responsible Procreationist

I've now heard everything.  I'm getting to the point where it's getting harder and harder to stay positive in the fight against stupidity.  I once saw an amazing quote...

"Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated,
and drunkenness sobered, but stupid lasts forever."
-Aristophanes

How right he was.  When I first heard that quote, I laughed because it's true!  There are just some people you cannot teach.  Like the old idiom about old dogs and new tricks.  They're just untrainable.

These days however, this quote is extremely depressing... for it reminds me that there are a lot of stupid people out in the world... and right now, it seems every one of them thinks it's their mission to stop equality in it's tracks.

Bad language after the jump...

NOH8: Stay intact until August 18

Well, I suppose it is a step forward.  The Judge decided to release the stay on Same-Sex Marriages... but not until the 18th to give the other side time to appeal.  This is somewhat of a disappointment considering many were hoping to marry today.  But at the same time, it does show that the Judge has the other side in mind.  His decision to strike down Prop 8 was well thought out... and I feel sure that the Appeal process will show the same thing.

After all, right now the burden is on the "Yes on 8".. or as I like to call them the H8ers... to prove that allowing same-sex marriage really is bad for society.  And that will be a tall order considering there already are several gay marriages intact in California... and the state hasn't fallen into the Pacific since then... so where is this disaster on society that is suppose to be happening?

NOH8: Ruling on whether to stay the Prop 8 case today

We should be hearing from Judge Walker today regarding whether or not he will list the stay on the Prop 8 decision.  If he does, California will once again allow same-sex couples to be married. (W00T!)
