Proposition 8.

Proposition 8, a 2008 voter initiative that banned same-sex marriage in California, leaving the thousands who had already married in legal limbo and kicking off a court challenge that continues to this day.

SAY NO TO H8

Maybe if we'd had ponies back then, things would have turned out differently.

I'm in So. California, in the middle of a "Yes" city. I've collected a few of the Yes and No yard signs. I saw that all the Yes ones were painted over with "NO H8!"

I'd ignore it and consider it non-fanon, if I were you.

Silly Americans, why don't you just accept your homosexual citizens. They wont go away if you take off their marriage.

(gets Idea!

What if they introduce a really gay/Lesbian pony in Friendship is magic, so children can learn to accept them.
Or will rightwing/redneck/christianfundamentalistterrorists/extremestupid U.S.A. go Carazy and bomb the Hub Studio and Hasbro Company?

That's pretty much what would happen. All of the soccer moms and rednecks would begin protesting this show for "trying to corrupt our nation's children".

Soccer moms too?
Sometimes I ask myself of U.S.A. is really a modern democratic western country or a failed third world country.

You know, I would be really impressed if they made one of the characters officially homosexual. It would be a great step in teaching tolerance if they made an episode where one of the characters comes out of the stable and the others learn to accept their friends homosexuality.

It's a little bit of both, it's such a large country; some parts are the most advanced in the world, others are borderline-third world

To Anon #192398,
I'm afraid I must disagree. I think subtle references can sometimes better than overt statements. For example, one doesn't need to blatantly state that Lyra and Bon Bon are a same-sex couple- simply showing them being right next to each other, sharing and doing things together any time they are show can get the point across. The other good thing is, by being semi-subtle, you avoid the risk of having some parents ban their kids from watching the show because "of those gay ponies".

^^ Among the most advanced in the world.

The US has many positive points, but it frequently drags its heals on social progress compared to equivalent western democracies due to a relatively large, vocal group who'd rather see the world return to the way it was a few centuries ago. Other countries have these groups, but it's an entirely different phenomenon in the US and I don't think I'll ever quite understand it.

I think actually dealing with sexuality would be a bit much for the show's demographic in general, but it would be entirely appropriate, and well within te tone of the show so far to teach tolerance on a general level--actually, we've already had Bridle Gossip, and it wouldn' be too hard to extrapolate from there. Maybe the bst would be to have a couple seen together onscreen but never actually call attention to it, just let it be normal, and unworthy of comment.
Re: the U.S., we have the core of, say, 30% that were always for it, a core 30% that will always be against it for at least another generation or tow, maybe longer, and the 40% 'blob' in the middle, the crucial part. The blob has slowly been sliding toward the 'pro' side, however, and this year we finally saw the threshold crossed: more Americans support gay marriage than oppose it. At this point, we're keeping them momentum going in the crucial middle, fighting on judicial and legislative fronts, and getting what benefits we can. But frankly, it's only a matter of time. It's all us :)

If we never tried to help, then the world would kill itself. If we help like this, only half of what is done ever pays off. If we help those that understand and leave those that don't and live in a peaceful co-existence, it would die off like a virus without a host. Too bad the sheer number of people make that an impossibility.
