No on Prop 8...The Civil Rights Movement Continues

Today, Proposition 8 was approved in California, continuing a nationwide trend that saw gay rights abruptly trounced in four separate states. The right to marry, as well as the right to adopt in Arkansas, was stripped from gay and lesbian couples without so much as a backward glance.

While the protests and lawsuits that will inevitably follow will draw more debate, but the core essence of the idea continues to confound progressive American citizens. An obvious homage to conservative values, denouncers of  gay marriage fail to realize that the right to marry should not be dictated by creed, just as the right to govern should not be decided by color.

The defeat of Prop 8 was especially stinging in California, liberal haven and home to San Francisco, gay capital of the world. However, the fight for equal rights will continue on, and Brazen Path Designs is proud to continue to support our gay brothers and sisters and their civil rights. We might have elected a black President, but we are far from finishing the battle for equality.
