Fear and Loathing in Los Angeles

Okay, I just have one point to make about the gay marriage ban and then I will leave it for the courts to decide. In the 1940's there was a ballot measure banning mixed race marriages (anti-miscegenation law) in California. The measure was passed by a 95% vote. I imagine that most of these voters were conservatives who thought the idea of a black man together with a white woman was disgusting and immoral-sound familiar? The courts later struck down this law. Maybe today's conservatives should take a step back and realize that a legal contract (marriage) between two consenting adults will not affect them or their children and that it is really none of their business.

It's a pretty sad day when someone isn't allowed to have the same oppurtunities in life as the next person.
