Well, the election is over, Obama is the President Elect and Prop 8 has passed. While I do not agree with Obama’s positions on many issues, I am very pleased that Californian’s stood up for morals, children, and rational thought on Prop 8.
If you ask any person walking down the street “What modern city most closely resembles Sodom and Gomorrah?” What do you think the most common answer would be? My money would be on San Francisco, which is why I am somewhat surprised that Prop K (a local San Fran proposition) did not pass. It came close, 43% of Bay Area voters actually thought that it should pass.
What is Prop K… well it would have made prostitution legal of course.
That’s right, the Bay Area was 7 percentage points away from protecting prostitutes, hookers and pimps from the police, and making prostitution a valid career choice. Shocked? Me too. I am just glad that they had the common sense (well only 57% of them) to vote against this.
“Sexworkers rights = Human rights”, pathetic. Soon they will be marching holding signs that say “Druglord rights = human rights” or “Pedophile rights = human rights”. People, not everything is a right! You do not have “the right” to go shoot somebody… even if you really really want to.
