Home | Politics: Waiting on Prop 8 Ruling

May 26, 2009

Even here on the other side of the country, we're all sort of on pins and needles waiting for the results of the Proposition 8 ruling by the California Supreme Court. Of course, the Supreme Court ruling in California has no effect in either New York or New Jersey. But I suspect that it will have tremendous ramifications in terms of the culture nation-wide.

Proposition 8 was not just about marriage.

It was also a test by hate groups to see if they could successfully use ballot initiatives to rob gay people of their civil rights.

If the results of the test are positive, who knows where things will go next.
