Courtney Love Gets Political On Her Blog
Pink reader Lisa gave me the head’s up that Courtney Love posted a new blogpost on her official My Space profile today and in her latest treatise, she seems to be VERY CONFUSED about voting for California Proposal 9. A Yes vote for Prop 8 meant that you want to strip away marriage rights for same-sex couples here in California. A No vote for Prop 8 meant that you want to allow marriage equality for all. According to the text of C. Love’s latest blogpost, it looks like she got it wrong. Here is the full text of Courtney’s post which talks about her knowledge of Prop 8 and then meanders onto other topics (online shopping? anyone?) that don’t seem to make sense at all. All spelling and grammatical errors are her own:

oops did i just share that? well too fucking bad.
While some may have found the language on the ballot “conbfusing”, I think a careful read of the language of the proposal might’ve cleared up any “conbfusion” in the voting booth. To be honest, I’m shocked that Courtney Love even had the inclination to vote in the first place. While she doesn’t actually say that she did, indeed, vote — the implication is that she voted. The implication is also that she voted for Prop 8 erroneously and accidentally added to the tally against marriage equality in California. Courtney Love’s blogposts, while usually hilarious and always confusing, have never made me sad before. This one deffo does.

ok so iff alll the high/ crazy people in Ca voted yes when they ment no… there should be a recount! with a sober person in the booth with all um… how do I put this nicely? “courtney like” people….
lol… i actually kinda sounded like her there but you get my point… no?
November 7th, 2008 at 11:36 am
That is what it looks like..that she made a huge mistake and voted FOR Prop 8…huh?
November 7th, 2008 at 11:38 am
At least she and I can agree that Etsy.com and Ugly Dolls are cool. Other than that…I don’t speak Courtnese!

The language of Prop 8 was NOT confusing. I’ve read many a confusing proposition but this was not one of them. It says: Prop 8 : “Eliminates rights”. There you go. A yes eliminates rights, a no does not. This is actually one of the most straightforward ballot measures I’ve read, where I don’t have to go and read the entire text to understand what they’re saying. But then, this is Courtney Love, and she probably thought she was supposed to vote on November 5th anyway.

I have no idea what her crackhead ass was saying!
November 7th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
still crazy
November 7th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
exactly Sara. Eliminates rights.
Plus there was SO MUCH propaganda pro-8 and anti-8. Did she live in a cave and vote while drunk?
November 7th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
i’m conbfused just trying to read her ramblings. why is she talking about steampunk?
my friend is doing an internship with boudoir queen. yeaaah incoherent shout out from CL!
November 7th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Well, at least she was right about Etsy. It’s one of the best sites around!
November 7th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
Oh, boy. Maybe it’s a poem?? Since I have a master’s in creative writing I’ll guess at what she’s talking about:
She possibly voted for Prop 8 (booo!) and later found out, possibly at a performance of up and coming musicians, that the wording was confusing on the ballet and realized the horror of what she had just contributed to. Then she goes on to talk about her x-mas shopping adventures and to promote a new site of artists online.
I used to read about c.love in Seventeen when I was a teenager in the 90’s. She used to blog like this then and still does. Wow. Exhausting!

I disagree – PROP 8 would have been very confusing if you are one of the MANY in California who has English as a second lauguage and are bombarded with propaganda by groups who’s aim it was to confuse people’s minds.
November 7th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
I corrected MANY that Prop 8 was the BAN on gay marriage, not the ban on the ban…
People don’t pay attention.
