State Legislative Leaders Announce Reform Package

Maybe something good is happening in Sacramento. Well, it is possible. Stranger things have happened; this is, after all, California. Much of this is what people have been asking for. Much of it is common sense. Much of it is likely to stir up a hornet’s nest. It will be interesting to see...

My Thoughts On The Pending Prop 8 Decision

The majority of pundits and lawyers are speculating that the CA Supreme Court will decide to uphold Proposition 8, which bans same-gender marriage in California, but also uphold as valid the 18,000 same-gender marriages granted before Proposition 8 was passed in November 2008.

Equality isn’t just PC or Mac

October 15, 2008
By Chris Prevatt

On Tuesday Jubal over at RedCounty.com whined about the OC Register’s October 1st editorial opposing Proposition 8. Wow! it took him two weeks to come up with his lame defense of writing discrimination into the California Constitution.
