Kim Kardashian Saddened by Gay-Marriage Ban
Posted by Adam
Kim Kardashian says she’s “saddened” that the California Supreme Court voted today to uphold Prop. 8, which bans gay marriage.
“Today the California Supreme Court decided to uphold Prop 8, outlawing gay marriage in California,” the reality TV star blogged. “This really makes me sad. I thought we were more forward thinking than this, and I’m disappointed in the Supreme Court for being so closed minded. Everyone… gay, straight, bisexual, transgendered, EVERYONE should have equal rights to marry who they want to.
“I have many gay friends and all I want is for them to be happy, yet this is just another obstacle in their way. Now they must continue fighting to be granted a basic civil right that many people take for granted. Shame on you, California! We must all continue to fight the h8!”
Singer Elton John — who wed his partner David Furnish in 2005 — calls the vote “just awful.
“California is supposed to be a progressive state [and] it just defies logic to me, and I’m very disappointed with that,” he said.
