Subject: RE: BS: Californians Oppose 'Prop 8' Gay Marriage Ban
""Iowa is only the third state, following Massachusetts and Connecticut, to legalize gay marriage.""

Vermont also is refusing to let the bigotry of one man override the democratic decision of the majority, having moved to overturn the governor's veto.

Nice to know that in FOUR of the Fifty states, all men ARE considered to be equal under the law, as the Constitution of the United States would have us believe.

Now if the other forty six can get their knuckles off the ground long enough to vote.........who knows?

The United States' claim to be a DEMOCRACY may once more have some credibility.

I don't give a damn about the argument over whether or no you agree with homosexuality being legal.

It IS legal, and therefore homosexuals should not be discriminated against because of their orientation.

THEY SHOULD HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME RIGHTS, IN LAW, AS ANY OTHER CITIZENS!

Anything else is undemocratic, and contrary to the letter, and the spirit, of the Constitution.
