For those who believe in true love

A friend writes:

“I am a gay Californian whose sacred and loving marriage to the woman I have been committed to for the last 13 years of my life was recently voted upon and 52% of my fellow Californians saw it fit to take away my rights and write discrimination against me, my wife and so many others into the State Constitution”

I saw this discrimination happen in Ohio, and now again in California.  Only it’s “surprising” in California and four years later.  It’s awful, truly awful.  It’s hate, it’s fear, and it’s blatant discrimination in a country that is supposed to have moved on.  As a man of religion, an American, a man of the earth, and a Human Being, I cannot believe that this is occurring.  It is truly a civil rights movement of this generation.  Keith Olbermann says it better than I can, so take the 7 minutes out of your life to watch, and then spread the word.
