got hate?

Sickening that 5,125,752 people can't see past their prejudice.
Sad that 5,125,752 people see fit to withhold choice that they enjoy.

Thanks, we get the message -- equality for some.
Thanks, we get the point -- justice should be blind only some of the time.

Am I bitter? Yes.
Because yesterday, a slight majority saw fit to continue tyranny.

Am I hopeful? Yes.
Because soon a generation will bring down this wall of hate.

Before us stands a wall that encircles the free sectors of this society, part of a vast system of barriers that divides... separates. Every man and woman is forced to look upon a scar. . . . As long as this gate is closed, as long as this scar of a wall is permitted to stand, it is not the marriage question alone that remains open, but the question of freedom for all mankind. . . .
Americans, Californians, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for yourselves, your children, your country -- if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate.
Americans, Californians, open this gate!
Americans, Californians, tear down this wall!
