So today, I walked with a few thousand other people to chant and cheer for equal rights.
It's obvious to say that the crowd supports equality for all now. The order of the day was opposition of the Prop 8, CA constitutional change that prohibits gay marriage.
My comment on this entire subject reverts back to a simple litmus test I use for evaluating laws and policy: Does it increase or decrease freedom or choice? Clearly in the case of prop 8, there is a decrease in freedom.
Shame on you Californians!!!! You too Florida. However, in the case of Florida and the current conservative octogenarian population currently voting in the state, I could halfway understand. Give the Florida situation a few years, and things will change. That being said, there is no excuse for a bellweather state such as California to make such a blunder as limiting freedoms.
On the bright side, and if todays crowds are any indication, perhaps the frustrations of the masses who desire change and equality have been ruffeled enough to act.
One of the speakers, who I could barely here advised that for the next year, the 10th of every month would bring a new rights-sporting opportunity. FYI. You heard it here first.
