Anyone who voted this in can no longer play the "keep govt out of our lives" tune. I'm gonna be a lazy fuck and just copypaste what I wrote on the facebook:
I don't really get into politics because to me it's like looking through a telescope at a constellation of assholes, but this wasn't a political thing. I don't think it was really a religious thing, either, because I know people who only set foot inside a church for a marrying or a burying, and I am pretty sure some of them voted against it. My Dad probably did, and it's likely he'd spontaneously combust upon crossing a church threshold. As far as I can tell it was a power and superstition thing, and in my opinion a very dumb thing. I just can't see where it would have hurt anyone, or turned NC into some sort of paranoid delusionary "gay factory," or started a war, or caused the world to end. I don't even know why there had to be a vote for something as basic as an acknowledgement of fellow citizens. I'm just baffled by it.
