Why all the hating California?? I don't understand how states like Iowa or countries in Latin America can allow equal rights for gays and California, the supposedly most progressive state in the union is opposed to equal rights for gays and gay marriage?
California is a weird state. Not as weird as Florida but a close second. My Mema lives in Southern California in a town called Riverside. It's only an hour away from LA, the most fit city in the nation, however once you get outside LA, the entire state (except for portions of San Francisco) is majorly obese. You actually have to LOOK for the skinny people as everyone seems to be morbidly obese. You wouldn't expect this in California with the year around nice weather which gives you no excuse to not be exercising but that's how it is.
Well just the same way you wouldn't except California to be all uptight and religious about gay rights (hello Hollywood!!) here you have their Supreme Court upholding Proposition 8 and denying gays in California the right to legally marry. The only caveat of this (yes PP knows the big words) is that the 18 thousand gay marriages held in California can remain intact.
So now maybe Californians will get out of their apathy and in the next elections vote to turn this over. And just the way Mormons helped fund this proposition the rest of the nation can help fund to get this overturned.
It looks like New York will soon be one of the states that allow gay marriages so I am very proud to live here and have the offices of the PPP in New York. Although personally I think we should have already done this as New Jersey, Massachusetts, Iowa and two other states have already given legal rights to gays.
So the PPP would also like to protect marriage too. We want marriage to go to any couple same sex or not who understand the commitment that they are making towards each other and what it says to society.
I hope you like the image above as I got a cute Maltese named Mindy to strip for the cause (he, he..).
Chow for now!!
