to use the “equality for all” argument automatically includes brothers, sisters, etc.

i don’t think marriage is a civil right. it’s a civil ceremony, but not a right.

anyways, just a little perspective from the other side.

peace.

I, along with serveral of my friends are STILL embarrassed to be from California right now and deeply feel the need to apologize to the Queer community for our state's ignorance. It was definitely a blow that was not expected. But what I love about the Queer community is their strength. They did not see this as the end of the fight, its just the beginning. The community is moble and not alone. I agree.

Civil rights are not just black or women rights but every human's right. Thank you for your post and tweet.
