Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have yet to read the full decision issued by California's Supreme Court - so I can't speak to the arguments presented by the majority.
I do applaud the one dissenting justice who, according to the story at CNN, rightly stated that it is a defeat for "any minority group that seeks the protection of the equal protection clause of the California Constitution."
For those of you who are interested in contributing to the efforts of the Human Rights Campaign on this issue, please visit their website.
For those of you living in California who are interested in signing a petition to get the issue of equality onto the ballot in 2010, visit here.
You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom. You can only be free if I am free. Clarence Darrow.
For those of you living incommunicado since this came out last fall and haven't seen Prop 8 - the Musical - enjoy.
