WARNING:
This post is on a serious and personal topic.
No meanie poop-heads allowed!
If you know me IRL or follow me on Twitter,
you know I am very pro-gay
and one of the biggest fag-hags in my state.
Today is the 1st day of the Prop 8 trial.
It was going to be broadcast publicly on YouTube
but here is an article explaining why it is not.
Mostly I am writing this blog because
if you do not live in California or
if you are not actively pro- or anti- marriage equality,
you may not know what this trail is about.
Here is the Wikipedia page to give you a brief overview of Prop 8.

"Plaintiffs hope to take their case against California's Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and to overturn bans throughout the nation." (source)
This trail is sure to envoke a LOT of emotions in me.
I will be voicing my opinions here.
