WTF? Courtney Love HAPPY Prop 8 passed?

Prop 8 was confusing. Courtney Love is often confused. But this is really insane.

From her friends-only blog, CLove seems to be celebrating the passage of the same-sex marriage ban:

blown away

Current mood: bouncy

Only in California does "yes" mean "no"; and "no" means "yes".

[TheHandyman]

There was absolutely nothing confusing about what the proposition said nor what its intent was. Anyone claiming that they were confused about it are either lying to cover up their vote or excuse it or they are too illiterate or stupid to vote and should never be allowed to vote again.

[NoSillyName]

If ever I don't understand a proposition or some bond issue, I will not vote on it. Period.

[BSERIUS]

evidently 52 % of California is happy, which is the same percentage that Obama won by...

[peachesmahoney]

C-Love is confused. In Courtneyland, It's still 1994, she's still relevant, and prop 8 is a good thing.

[OhBigWoo]

I don't know why people keep saying it was confusing. The NO on 8 campaign went to court in order to get the language changed so it properly reflected the true intention of 8. The only way you would be confused is if you did NOT read the ballot at all. The first sentence next to the number 8 said in BOLD letters: This provision will DENY same-sex couples the right to marry. Now how can you be confused about that?

Los Angeles native, attended UC Berkeley and Loyola Marymount University before punk rock and logophilia overtook her life. Worked as nightclub columnist, pop culture journalist and was a Hollywood housewife before writing for and editing Sacred History Magazine. Then she discovered the thrill of politics. She also appears frequently on the Dave Fanning Show, one of Ireland's most popular radio broadcasts and also blogs at Firedoglake's

Can you die from laughing?

[KeithMoon24]

Funny, I thought she was dead. (Oh wait: it's her career that's dead.)

[unfettered]

This is news why?

[auramac]

Sounds like another case of the Sarah Palin "I know that I know that I know.."

..or was that Jackie Gleason? Eddie Murphy?

Now I'm confused...

[DocManhattan]

No, she doesn't sound sarcastic, she just sounds very very confused. Not to say addled. Poor Courtney.

Sounds to me like she didn't really understand what Prop 8 was ...

[Swerinjer2]

I'm glad it passed because it will motivate the left wing base, even as the Dems control almost everything.

[janinei]

Sounds like she is mad it passed! At least that is the way I read it

[Vraja]

Yeah, she sounds like she is being sarcastic and ironic.

Confusing? Certaily. Deliberately? Who knows...the entire process seems deliberately confusing. While not a CA resident, if I had been I would have voted 8 down, but not because I believe only a man and woman should be married...I don't think it's the government's job to tell religions who can or can't be married.Marriage is a religious ritual. Civil Unions and Domestic Parter Contracts, now that's something we do need to be clear on and there should be a drive to eliminate the word marriage from the definition the churches would like to see it have; an exclusive right to define it. I say people should pull a flanking manoever and make the word marriage from a legal standpoint about as meaningful as the archaic "jus primae noctis".

Seems a little confused...maybe Prop 8 passed due to the 'confused' vote. Uh-oh.

[char982]

I have a feeling that lots of people voted "yes" without knowing what that really meant.

[suemag]

HuffPost's Pick

I honestly think a lot of people thought a Yes vote was pro gay marriage.

[teacheng]

Whoops - I missed this. Said the same thing above.

Revote?

[JaneaneTheAcerbicGoblin]

The language sounds deliberately confusing.

It seems taht voting "yes" was to ban gay marriage, and a "no" vote was actually pro-gay marriage. Am I correct in this confusion?

[TheHandyman]

You are correct and that should have been evident to anyone with half a brain. There was nothing confusing about how it was written!

[M1]

Bummer.

[equalground]

I am guessing you do not live in California and have not seen the ballot language.

The ballot title said something like "Eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry." and was written by Jerry Brown the Attorney General, who supports same-sex marriage.

Let's recall Jerry Brown.
