Except, "marriage" wasn't on the polls. Gay marriage was. Your vote had no effect on the legality of marriage as a whole--it just helped disenfranchise a particular group of people. That's a homophobic action, whether you had homophobic intentions or not.

THAT'S NOT WHAT DISENFRANCHISE MEANS FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK.

EVERYONE STOP USING THIS WORD THAT WAY. IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE "EN" IN IT.

The word is "disfranchise," and it specifically refers to voting rights. The right to vote is the franchise. If you aren't taking away a person's right to vote, then you aren't disfranchising them. THE END.

OMG thank you! This sort of thing bugs me every time I see it.

My dictionary tells me disenfranchise is the primary version, but disfranchise is also correct.

Online Etymology Dictionary tells me disfranchise was the earlier form, dating to the mid-15th century, but disenfranchise has been around since the 1640s.

I can see a difference, actually -- disenfranchise would be to de-enfranchise, reverse having given someone the vote. Someone disfranchised has never been able to vote.
