In an ironic twist, voters in California passed Prop 8 which bans same sex marriage, denying gay people their civil rights even as the United States ushered in it’s first black President. (6:26 min) It really is one step at a time, isn’t it?
Yes, you can do something about it. Take literally one minute of your time and go to http://www.couragecampaign.org/page/s/repealprop8/ and add your name to repeal Prop 8.

that was pretty sneaky how they managed to repeal the short-lived law… Olberman does a good job of pointing out the hypocrisy of religion here. Religious types are more hung up on their dogma rather than the wisdom og their faith…
just as a point of reference, Ontario where I live was the first jurisdiction in North America to make same sex marriage legal, back in 2003.

Yes, it is one of the saddest and ironic things in these times, that religious institutions are espousing fear and hate and ignoring the power of love which is the core of most religions. People seem to not be able to resolve this conflict and many fall on the side of negation and not inclusiveness. Sigh…
