We think this has to do with one of the basic dangers of Twitter — namely the blind trust that people now seem to place in their friends and random Twit-lebrities as news aggregators — but what happened is this chick named Bonnie who has 3,000 followers spotted someone else’s post with a link to this story, from May 15, 2008, about the California Supreme Court decision that originally set all that stupid Prop 8 business in motion.

Good job, lady!  Due to the exponential nature of this social networking miasma we live in, you just single-handedly caused a legion of marriage-loving faggots to scream, cry, laugh, pop champagne corks from expensive bottles they’d been saving in the back of the fridge, and subsequently sit back down, crestfallen, as their bubbles were once again burst.

UPDATE: It looks like it was initially the LA Times fucking fault, or, rather, an intern there who handles their official Twitter. They’ve since issued a retraction, VIA TWITTER.
