2010 vs. 2012
August 13, 2009
It’s been with some disappointment that I’ve watched gay groups arguing over whether to go back to the ballot in 2010 or 2012 to repeal Proposition 8. What bothers me about this is that this has become a political game of cat and mouse, and I have come to believe that the only appropriate time to act towards equality is now. I don’t want to be a “social issue” anymore, but as long as there are those out there actively fighting to take my rights away, I will fight right back.
However, the lesson gay organizations need to learn is that we have no business arguing amongst ourselves, especially when others are gleefully watching on the sidelines. This from Focus on the Family’s Citizen Link:
As Equality California announced its plan to pursue a 2012 effort to repeal the state’s constitutional amendment defining marriage, other gay-activist groups have set their sites on the mid-term election in 2010.
Ron Prentice, executive director of the California Family Council, said the split is good news for defenders of marriage.
In the grand scheme of things, it isn’t good news for them, as we are, at least, all organizing for one common goal. We are fighting for the right to live openly, and to openly share our love with others. And we will win.
Just gay it!
