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.  

Celebrate Obama as 'Yes We Did' Design Wins Cafepress Blog Award!

Mark it down, Obamamaniacs. November 4th, 2008 was a delightful win for President-Elect Barack Obama, but November 5th, 2008 was an amazing day for Brazen Path Designs. The Cafepress blog of the day featured a bunch of end-of-election Obama designs, and guess who got picked? Yup, yup, we're not last ones picked on the team here!

What makes this selection especially enjoyable is that we've only been in business for less than three weeks. However, I think that only good things are ahead for Brazen Path Designs. And, for that matter, the country. 

Future developments...watch for the Obama gear to spin off and get their very own website! Aw, they're all grows up, and they've got to graduate to their very own shop! We're sad to see them go, but we're thrilled that the political wing of our Cafepress site has become so successful!

Next goal...convince the President to pick a rescue mutt as the official "First Dog". It would go great with helping to further the "Mutts for Politics" line. Just a thought. Bask in the election results, fellow Cafepress denizens...we've earned this!
