>>I just saw something that said Proposition 8 passed in California. If that's true, some serious sadness to mark a celebratory day.<<

John -

I agree. Writing discrimination into the State's Constitution is just wrong.

The campaign against Prop 8 was an example of the worst kind of fear-mongering, financed largely by out-of-state money. It's that kind of thing that makes me believe that right-wing evangelicals, while still being a relatively small constituency, can wield power perniciously when they are focused on specific issues.

I am sure that within ten years or so, another proposition will be placed on the ballot to repeal the constitutional changes made by Proposition 8, and that it will pass.
