I think because of the whole "Definition of marriage" thing it's a bit different though.

I mean seperate but equal... yet at the same time California still has Mens and Womens sports, Mens and Womens bathrooms... etc.

You're a Man, you join the men's baseball team. You're a woman your on the women's softball team... it's not even a baseball team.

Not sexuality, but it is sex.  Which is one of the original ones in the constitution. 

Naw, I don't think the "definition of marriage" thing makes this different.  That part is the religious argument which I don't think the laws should be paying any attention to whatsoever.  Churches can ban all the marriages they want to but the government can't.  I mean, it's legal for a priest to get married, but churches won't let them, right?

If we allow Prop 8 to pass, THAT will be a blow to democracy, because that will allow any majority to discriminate against the minority.

democracy allows the majority to discriminate against a minority if its their will.

Then it's a good thing we don't live in a democracy.
