tho only in a transitional phase, can't decern between purple rain or purple haze. let us stop talking falsly now the hour is getting late jimi --- the following an excerpt from a HRC message: "Like many in our movement, I found myself in Southern California last weekend. There, I had the opportunity to speak with a man who said that Proposition 8 completely changed the way he saw his own neighborhood. Every "Yes on 8" sign was a slap. For this man, for me, for the 18,000 couples who married in California, to LGBT people and the people who love us, its passage was worse than a slap in the face. It was nothing short of heartbreaking. But it is not the end. Fifty-two percent of the voters of California voted to deny us our equality on Tuesday, but they did not vote our families or the power of our love out of existence; they did not vote us away. As free and equal human beings, we were born with the right to equal families. The courts did not give us this right—they simply recognized it. And although California has ceased to grant us marriage licenses, our rights are not subject to anyone's approval. We will keep fighting for them. They are as real and as enduring as the love that moves us to form families in the first place. There are many roads to marriage equality, and no single roadblock will prevent us from ultimately getting there." joe solmonese --- ...the walls are rocking, the door is open, come on in... .......can already feel the heat between you and me...... prince

He is right..... It will happen and probably sooner than you think.... I believe that the California Supreme Court will find a reason to overthrow prop 8..... slowly but surely it is opening.... larry

There is supposed to be separation of church & state. I don't see how they can recognize straight couples & deny gays the same right. Of course, 'they' will argue that a 'couple' must be defined, lest polygamists wish to marry, or a man marry his dog, his son, etc., etc. It is going to be a hard battle to fight...prejudice is alive & tongues wag.

Indeed in two years we will repeal this abomination. Abomination. If god exists and if she is able to be offended I think THIS rather than homosexuality would be the thing to do the trick.
