“The law cannot dictate matters of the heart. When two people form a deep bond, there is usually a soul connection, and the soul has no gender. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are fundamental rights in this country. Happiness can be many things — a good meal, a good friend, a warm puppy, and certainly — love. How can anyone legislate who you can love? That is a human right, the right to love and be loved. – Barbra Streisand, remarks upon receipt of the Human Rights Campaign Humanitarian Award, March 6, 2004

I realize I’m a little late (but not too late) with this post, so bear with me. There is nothing unique or profound or interesting left to say about what happened when California went to the polls two weeks ago and showed that 52 percent of people living in this state, this wonderful state where BLAH AND BLAH, would rather preach hate, discrimination and injustice instead of love.

My emotions are high on this topic and I can’t talk to anyone who opposes equality for all, regardless of age, color, gender or sexual orientation without it escalating it into a screaming match. So let me show you photos instead from protests around the country from Flickr.
