Right after I posted Hope, I found out that the California Supreme Court upheld the state’s gay-marriage ban. Just when I was feeling hopeful. Ugh. One step forward, two steps back.
I believe in justice for all, not justice for some of us. No more second-class citizens!
It was not until 1948 that the California Supreme Court overturned the ban on interracial marriage. 1948! And the U.S. Supreme Court did not overturn the laws prohibiting interracial marriage until 1967. 1967!
Justice is lagging! It’s too slow.
Discrimination is wrong; it was wrong then and it’s wrong now.
Have we learned nothing from history? Seperate is not equal. Words are important. A civil union is not marriage, if it was it would be called Marriage.
If my daughter is gay, I want her to have the right to marry! If my daughter is not gay, I want her to respect the rights of her gay brothers and sisters.
This will not stand! One day soon, people will be ashamed to have stood for discrimination, for denying law abiding citizens rights.
I would like to thank Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, and Maine for having the decency to recognize that gay people have the right to marry.
