| The California Supreme Court just cut the baby in half.
Gays are not equal under the law. Except for the 18,000 who are.
Huh?
Rights can be granted under the Law. And then can be taken away as soon as "we" can find the least, most ridiculous, nonsensical, but still technically semi-plausible if you squint hard enough justification to enforce the prejudice of the bigots amongst us and the Powers That be that are sympathetic to them.
I won't even bother to pretend to analyze....or care about...the legal methods used to deny Human Rights to people who are obviously human. They don't REALLY matter. All that matters, in the end, is that the PTB found some, any excuse to deny yet another class of human beings the Human Rights that all humans qualify for merely by dint of being human.
They have succeeded, for now, and they really don't care how ridiculous it looks to both preserve and outlaw gay marriage at the same time.
The only good thing to come out of this is as a another fight to motivate the Left and the GLBT community to keep hammering on the complete and total imbecility that is the continuing influence of RW bigots on our society and the world.
We need a new ballot initiative for 2010 to overturn this. And this time WE need to be the ones with the well funded and effective advertising campaign. In a state where a bare majority of voters can strip the rights of ANY class of humans with an effective enough advertising campaign....
Yelling Louder could not be any more vital. Citizen involvement and funding could not be any more imperative. The RW only won because they outYelled us. Period. End of story.
This time it has to be US doing the yelling. |
