I hope this lady won't mind my stealing her comment, but thought it said a lot....this comment was in response to an article about Jerry Brown's legal fight in Calif. on behalf of the gay community and their right to marry....repeal Prop. 8!!!!!!!!

"to use the ballot box to take away an "inalienable" right would establish a "tyranny of the majority," which the Constitution was designed, in part, to prevent" That is exactly what Prop.8 is: a tyranny of the majority. As a mother of a gay son living in California, I was appalled by the passage of this proposition. I, and the rest of our family, believe that he should have the same right to marry as my straight son. I love his partner dearly. They are happy together and I sincerely thank God for this loving relationship. It is a blessing for our family. While the churches have the right to deny their own blessings, and people have the right to disapprove of such unions, they don't have the right to deny the civil right that civil marriage is. Perhaps enlightenment will come later for them, perhaps it won't. But my son's life can't wait. I am extremely grateful to Mr. Brown for seeing the light and having the courage to act to implement justice.
