I am glad that people are upset with California and the passing of prop 8, but how about we set our sights on Idaho. Idaho passed HJR 2 a couple of years ago that was more destructive than Prop 8. Rights were taken away from GLBT students, faculty and staff at UI and employees of the state of Idaho. <BR>
<BR>
So lets support the folks in California fighting prop 8, but let's also fight the bigotry written into Idaho law. I would like to move back across the border one of these days, I miss walking to work and downtown Moscow. <BR><BR>
