More than fire, Plasma

I've been itching to completely run my mouth about my disappointment in California to pass a ban on gay marriage. But honestly, it isn't worth it.

What I've come to realize is that it's going to happen no matter what conservatives attempt to do. The reason being that the youth understands that equality should always trump religious or personal values. The people who don't understand are those who are incapable of accepting homosexuals as equal beings and who feel justified in saying that a religious doctrine has the authority to treat people differently. And just being honest, these people are slowly going to leave this world as the youth become the new leaders of this nation. The difference between Prop 22 in 2000 and Prop 8 in 2008 show that trend. In 8 years, the people in favor of a ban on gay marriage decreased from 61% to 52%. Not only that, but it shows that the 63% of the youth (18-30) disagree with this ban.

As much as I can want to be angry, I know I can be optimistic in knowing that equality will prevail. I don't just believe it, I know it. So let the conservatives celebrate this battle, but we will be the victors of this war.
