History Marches On
The only thing I have to say on today's Prop 8 decision is "Well, duh. Of course equal protection under the law extends to gay people" But one of my favorite bloggers, Fred Clark, had something more to say:
"This is a good decision from the 9th Circuit Court. It’s very good news for California.
It’s even good news for Prop 8 supporters, who are fuming and raving in response to the decision. But don’t worry too much about them - they enjoy fuming and raving. It’s kind of their hobby. This ruling neither picks their pocket nor breaks their leg. It doesn’t harm or inconvenience them in the least. But today’s ruling provides them another excuse to pretend they’re put-upon and persecuted, so right now they’re as close to being happy as they’re still capable of being."
So good news all around today--and maybe it will help a few more people turn against North Carolina's upcoming anti-gay amendment.
