Life goes on even as the Presidential election moves into the home stretch. Last week Connecticut became the third state to approve gay marriage. Unfortunately, in the second state, California, a ballot initiative that would introduce a constitutional amendment outlawing Gay Marriage called Proposition 8 is leading in the polls by a 47-42 margin.
The approval of Proposition 8 in California would be an enormous step backwards. Every major newspaper, Governor Schwarzenegger and numerous celebrities have come out against the proposition but a well financed anti-gay marriage campaign, at least for the moment, appears to be winning.
Ironically it appears to be Blacks and Hispanics, the folks who have the most to fear from discrimination, who are supporting Proposition 8. Allow me to suggest that these folks might want to consider whose side they’re on.
