An Ugly Proposition

In my home state of California, they are still tallying the results from voting last night. One of the ballot entries was Proposition 8, a horrible attempt to ban gay marriage in California.

The race is very close. It saddens me, not as a California native, but as an American, to think that half of the people of California, a state known for its progressive thinking, might pass a law legalizing discrimination. The supporters of Proposition 8 are using lies and misdirection in their ads to dupe people into passing a law that is, quite frankly, a religious issue.

I hope and pray that Prop 8 is not passed. California needs to send a message to the rest of the country – we will not tolerate discrimination in any form!
