Proposition 8: I Told You So....

I sorta kinda hate to say it, but I told ya so.

Now that Proposition 8 passed (and Ken Starr of the Whitewater investigation which turned into an investigation into President Clinton's sex life has signed on to argue for upholding Proposition 8), supporters of Proposition 8 have filed a brief with the California court which seeks to have nullified all 18,000 or so same-sex marriages performed while they were legal. Remember what I said in my post about "Valid" marriages and fear? They're doin' it.

According to an Associated Press article titled "Calif. AG urges court to void gay marriage ban" published today:

The sponsors of Proposition 8 argued for the first time Friday that the court should undo the marriages of the estimated 18,000 same-sex couples who exchanged vows before voters banned gay marriage at the ballot box last month.

The Yes on 8 campaign filed a brief telling the court that because the new law holds that only marriages between a man and a woman are recognized or valid in California, the state can no longer recognize the existing same-sex unions.
I seem to remember something about the Yes on 8 Campaign saying they don't want to take away rights. Fucking hypocrites.
