Reply #132: I can sense your anger and frustration and I'd probably be thinking just the way you are [View All]

if I were in CA right now. But can you see how that could play into the hands of the enemy of equal protection of the law? Mormons are also a minority in this country and it is infuriating that they manipulate and lie to have another minority group stripped of its rights while crying all the time about theirs. STILL, I believe we are not on safe ground when we do the same thing they do. I don't pretend to know what CA can do. I have read that Gov. Arnold wants to get Prop 8 undone (he seems embarrassed by it and he damn well SHOULD be embarrassed!). I can't believe that an end run around our federal Constitution can hold up for long.

I'm exasperated and feel such anger and sorrow for all of CA now. I have a little 4 yr old grandson in the L.A. area. His parents are VERY progressive people in the entertainment industry. They are in shock. My daughter says the Prop 8 vote shattered her happiness at the Obama election. I go to CA twice a year and always love being with their friends and coworkers, a great group of people including several gays and lesbians. It's like I don't even KNOW the CA that voted for Prop 8.

It's unconscionable that Prop 8 happened. It should never happen in this country. Sadly, discrimination gets its legs back and walks again after being smacked down in so many areas. But there is a way and it will be found. I believe in our Constitution. I have to...

Peace and love...
