Hi Rachel and Nirzhar, No cookies yet but I’ll keep an eye open for them. Believe me, cookies aren’t necessary. I’d pay to get the opportunity to write about this and continue this discussion forum! Thanks for your continued support.

Hey Angie,
Thanks for this post. Did you get the cookies we sent the other day for your other Prop 8 post? I really appreciate you taking the lead in this discussion among business women.
Really like the MLK quote that Jesse Luna originally posted: “Injustice anywhere, is a threat to justice everywhere.”

Hey,

Thanks for the great read. You’ve hit the issue on its head. If we all take a moment to step back and consider the chaos, we realize that it’s utter insanity. We’re stuck using two century old logic to deal with contemporary issues. With the election of Obama we have proven that the majority has made the transition into modern times.

Prop 8 won the battle but it didn’t win the war.

Great Post! Thank You.

This issue is not going to go away. In 2004 we, “straight America”, saw it solely as a wedge issue, a theoretical argument to divide the Dems and the Republicans.

But with Prop 8 it has become more concrete because it has direct effects on law. As the video shows, this is a civil rights issue.

As Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Injustice anywhere, is a threat to justice everywhere.”

Angie, I love your discussion and what you are doing here. There is still a lot of predjudice and hate out there for same-sex relationships. None of which makes sense to me. Why would anyone fight or deny love? It goes back to basic principles we learn as children. Love good, hate bad. It upsets me, as a mom, that our state government has to confuse the principles again. We can deny same sex marriage because it isn’t what we think is right. Hate is okay?

Angie – I found you via one of Suzanne’s recent teleconferences on niching! I write to thank you for being an ally and speaking up on ‘no on prop 8′. it’s never too late to get involved and, as a lesbian woman who hopes to have the option to marry my beloved one day, i know that allies are critical to that happening. If you are moved to contact me to collaborate in any way, I am open to the possibilities. Thank you again!
