When did I lose my right to free speech?

Last Friday, as a resident of California, I had the honor and privilege to stand up with two of our closest friends, Josh & Dean, and witness their marriage.

If you haven't heard, IMHO, there is a Proposition on the California ballot which is basically what I consider to be a form of "legalized discrimination" in that it is attempting to modify the California state constitution so that gay and lesbian couples cannot legally marry. That's just wrong in the opinion of the Tan Household!

We unfortunately live in a part of California where there seems to be alot of support for Prop 8, lots of "Yes on Prop 8" yard signs. While I've been tempted to remove the signs every time I see one, I haven't because just like I do, those folks have a right to their opinions even if it differs from mine.

But I guess someone out there doesn't believe that I should have that same right to free speech in that I woke up this morning and found that my "No on Prop 8" yard sign had been stolen.

I haven't found a replacement sign yet but hope to have a couple of more of them soon and in time for the Nov 4th election. They messed with the wrong person!!

VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION 8!!!!!!!!!! ( Oct 22 2008, 01:36:26 PM PDT ) Permalink
