For the past few days since the election has passed I have been in Southern California. It was one of the few bright spots to be for social issue conservatives in the nation. 1.6 million Barack Obama VOTERS helped push across the finish line the final word on what definition the word "marriage" gets to enjoy in that state.

Every day since a few hundred geniuses have gathered in West Hollywood, and in one place or two in San Francisco to scream at the wind, bark at the moon, and demand that the stupid damn people of California weren't so... LITERAL.

The problem here for the protesters is in part that they have NO IDEA what they're actually protesting.

The ballot measure was simple... that marriage would continue to be--as it always has a union between a man and woman. Society has always sanctioned that one particular form of sexual expression/commitment because of its potential to bring children into the culture--AND THUS--to be able to keep society reproducing future generations of citizens. (In case anyone hasn't explained to the silly protesters, a pair female genitalia doesn't do so and vice versa...)

The protesters believe that much, much, more was on the ballot...

They think that there will be a sex police force breaking into the bedrooms and halting one man from performing disgusting acts with another...

They think that they will be kept from getting a place to live if two women show up for the apartment showing and they introduce each other as their best friend...

They think that they can't go visit each other in the hospital, or leave each other all their worldly possessions.

They believe that society looks down upon them as people. (Which is patently false, though many of us do not wish to see them perform their acts of sexual pleasure and think it would be much better if they left that in the bedroom - which is where those of us who act sexually in more traditional ways do it.)

They are not arguing for equal ANYTHING, because they are presently NOT being discriminated FROM anything...

They wanted to take a term--marriage--and make it mean something its never meant before.

Marriage *IS* a union of a man and woman--a sacred commitment--for life.

That doesn't mean that if Mama Joi (pictured above with megaphone) wants to get groovy with her Susie Sad, Aunt Betty, or Ralph the puppy that anyone is going to stop her, it just doesn't mean that it has become marriage.

Long story short--in as secular a nation as the left has forced America to become--no one is going to disallow Mama Joi from cruising for chics on a Friday night while jamming to "I kissed a girl and I liked it..."

The only thing that the REAFFIRMATION of Prop 8 does mean, is that the philosophical bullies can't do whatever they want with words.

Words mean things, and in California the people have now on MULTIPLE occasions spoken in overwhelming majorities (despite being outspent 3 and 4 to 1) that marriage will continue to be defined as it always has been defined.

They don't need to be mad at the Mormons, Catholics, Mexicans, Blacks, Evangelicals, or any other group that voted in overwhelming numbers against changing the definition... In reality they should really be much more angry with... Mirriam Webster.
