Prop H8 

The off message way to describe California's proposition 8 from the 2008 election year. This propostition banned marriages between people of the same sex, and defined marriage as between a man and a woman.

In enlightened gay right's circles,t calling it "prop h8" is frowned upon. The thought being that it only viliffies the opposition and makes it hard to open communication lines between the gay and striaght communities; thus actually making it harder to get people to vote for marriage equality. No one likes to be called names.

For the angry and short sighted political gays, this is a way to express the anger they feel towards the sometimes muted hatred that often colored the campaign rallies, literature, etc.

When Prop H8 passed, it hurt me, my community, and my family. I hope you never have to experience that.

Prop H8ers 

People who openly resent and disagree with Judge Walker's August 4, 2010 landmark ruling in California whereby he declares the ban on same-sex marriage to be unconstitutional and in direct violation of the due process and equal protection clauses. Prop H8ers believe gay marriage is evil and are especially worried that the ruling will ultimately lead to the legalization of bestiality.

Adam: "Wow, Mr. & Mrs. Jones put their "Say Yes to Family, Say Yes to Prop 8" sign back up on their front lawn on Wednesday."

Steve: "I saw that. I guess they are really bitter about Judge Walker's ruling. They must be total Prop H8ers."

Adam: "You said it. I had no idea. It is no wonder we have not received their wedding rsvp. Let's invite Ellen and Portia instead."
