下面這張圖取自LA Times線上分析表，一看就發現，支持同性婚姻者只在沿岸城市勝出，而且支持者有高教育程度、高收入的傾向，顯示同志平權意識的普及仍待長期努力．但要到什麼時候，才有真正不限性別、族裔、階級的平等人權？
同志仍需努力
民主社會的權力，不是靠武力革命，是靠每一個公民的選票，有窮人、富人，有高學歷、低學歷，有的住都市、有的住鄉村．意識的改變，需要很長的時間，需要很多人擴散到不同層面的生活圈子．取得越多人認同，才能越順利地改變社會意識．
美國選出第一位黑人總統要經歷多少歲月？當年他們遭受黑白不能通婚，不能同車的族群歧視，現在回想都覺得不可思議．歐巴馬不是以52.5%些微多數獲勝，而是壓倒性大勝．同志平權也應有為者亦若是，些微獲勝不是勝利，只是處於兩極化的爭議，不會長治久安．一定要細水長流，綿密地改變大多數人．公投是一時的，但人心才是長長久久．

先節錄下來給你參考：
回覆刪除Today, as the ballot counting for Proposition 8 in California continues, Lambda Legal, along with the National Center for Lesbian Rights and the ACLU, filed a petition in the California Supreme Court on behalf of Equality California and six same-sex couples urging the court to invalidate Prop 8 if it passes. The petition charges that Prop 8 is invalid because the initiative process was improperly used in an attempt to undo the constitution's core commitment to equality for everyone by eliminating a fundamental right from just one group — lesbian and gay Californians. Prop 8 also improperly attempts to prevent the courts from exercising their essential constitutional role of protecting the equal protection rights of minorities. Whatever the outcome of the election or the lawsuit, we and the California Attorney General agree that existing California marriages are valid, and Lambda Legal will work in the courts to protect these marriages if they are attacked.
yiling,法律不是我的領域，我以為如果一開始就聲請釋憲，加州根本就不必經過這次勞民傷財僅次於總統大選的公民投票？現在公投沒過，再聲請釋憲:公投違憲？我覺得要有走更長的路的心理準備．
回覆刪除美國現在的聯邦法中有一條Doma(Defense of Marriage Act)勘稱是same-sex marriage的一大超級大障礙, 現在保守派在做的就是要讓地方法也通過一個類似Doma的東東.
回覆刪除Oranger妳說得有道理, 比起些微勝利, 更需要改變想法才是長久之道, 不過我在加州機場時剛好是他們投完的第二天, 老實說新聞一報出來真是令人沮喪到極點啊!
