Being a California resident, I remember the happiness I felt when same-sex marriage was legalize as well as I remember when that right was abruptly taken away. I remember the bright yellow Yes on 8 signs that included two smiling stick-figure children and a smiling sun in the background. I remember being disgusted with such a happy image related to the removal of rights of citizens of the United States.Jason Carwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975866937966747732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-623790334616461948.post-62373311082088774972009-08-24T17:42:30.483-07:002009-08-24T17:42:30.483-07:00Hmm, federal supreme court eh?
