[Vision2020] Don't you get it? EVERYONE'S rights are in peril!

[Saundra Lund]

Thanks, Ellen, for bringing up this topic.  Fortunately, opponents of Prop 8
were well prepared, and a challenge was filed yesterday in CA's Supreme
Court:

Of course, who knows how long it will take for this travesty to be
judicially corrected . . . 

 

For those interested in the topic, Glenn Greenwald has a great article out
today:  "An answer to Proposition 8:  Repealing DOMA"

The long awaited for election is finally over.  We breathe a sigh of relief
and look forward to the promise of change and hope for the future.
 
However, there's also a dark side to this past election.  It is so
disturbing that one of our states would have an initiative on the ballot to
change their state constitution, to allow for discrimination against one
specific group of citizens.  And then it passed.  Bigotry is now law.
 
We need to keep an eye on our neighbor states, because what affects them
today , could affect us tomorrow.  We must be ever vigilant of distant
outside forces that would try to manipulate events close to our home.  We
must realize that hate was well funded. . . money was poured into California
by groups that preach love.  "Love your neighbor". . . . but make sure it's
only a certain kind of love that we approve of.
