Dear Internets
(Specifically the parts of the Internet currently arguing over whether African-American and Latino voters were the reason that Prop 8 passed in California):
These are Queer Black Pe o ple.
These are People in favor of Prop 8. Please note the demographics.
Also? These are the people who provided the most funding for the pro-Prop 8 campaign, and so are probably in large part responsible for its passage.
I am upset, disheartened and scared by the passage of this amendment. But I also have better things to do than get into blame-casting arguments with people who may well agree with me when there are hosts of people out there who have very clearly stated their opposition to my position, and intention to deny my marriage. It's just that they don't have livejournals, and aren't so easy to engage.
Could everyone please take about a tenth of the energy you're spending in flame wars and write an email to your Representative and Senators telling them how much gay marriage and the advancement of people of color means to you?
Okay. Thanks. Goodbye.
