California= Red Necks

Can someone explain to me how a State can vote for a man who stands for change and then turn around and deny a group of AMERICANS a basic right just because of who they happen to be? I thought people from California were a little more modern than they showed themselves to be Tuesday. Perhaps they would like to re -write the Bill of Rights. No more can people from the South or other rural areas of the US be labeled "Red Necks" that is now firmly secured in the State of California where they deny the right of someone to chose who they marry by only their gender. Don't bring up Religion. This is not the Middle East. We have separation of Church and State for a reason. The is absolutely no valid reason to deny this group the right to marry. Please tell me why you would deny two people who love each other that right? I would "love" to hear the reasons! They should take down the HOLLYWOOD sign and replace it with RED NECK WORLD


BY the way. I'm a happily married heterosexual male who has no problem with homosexuals/lesbians being married. It's THEIR business and no one else should be involved!

The only reason that makes sense to me, is that people were confused. I know my MIL kept getting the vote wrong. She thought a vote of YES meant she was for gay marriage, which she is for. We had to tell her three times before she got it right.


I wonder how many others got

I'm not worried because amending a state constitution requires a 2/3 vote of the legislature.

But Obama clings to religion.

Actually, a group called "Rednecks for Obama" really caught on and eventually had plenty of followers in several states:

Although he may have called his grandmother one - he doesn't seem to look on it as a "bad" word. >>

In the midwest - where the Rednecks for Obama campaign started - redneck is derived from the red tan many farm workers got from working out in the sun. IE Red Neck equates to hard working down home values and not racism where I'm from. It is only used in the negative sence in the South I believe.
