Dear white people mad about Proposition 8:

Get it together. Here's some help.

1. Brown people did not pass Prop 8;
2. actually, they could have helped defeat it, if you had strategized better; and
3. if they hadn't voted in general, you wouldn't be celebrating anything this week.

P.S. Dan Savage has always rubbed me the wrong way, so thanks, faggot, for finally clarifying some of it for me.

oh, and I would also add, there are gay black people. I am sick of people acting like Black folk have the market cornered on homophobia and also that the categories of queer and black are mutually exclusive.
