Musket, you say a similar law applies here in California. I've lived here in California since 1973, and my employment and volunteer work has required me to be very familiar with the law. Pray tell, what law are you speaking about? As far as I know, there is no law that prohibits a person from speaking against gay marriage or requires a person to produce slogans supporting gay marriage. I was rather upset that it took so long for California to allow gay marriage. I was sure the electorate would make California the first to approve gay marriage. Instead of that, the voters approved a referendum that prohibited gay marriage, and it was the courts that forced the state to allow gay marriage. Same-sex marriage is now approved by law in California, but citizens are still free to speak in opposition to it, and clergy are free to refuse to officiate at weddings they don't approve of. -Joe-
