Equal rights for all?

Well…sitting here watching a replay of the Man U match with Real Madrid getting ready for the live one this aft and this neat little tidbit was in one of the papers this morning that could pre-empt the supreme court ruling on Prop 8 from California on gay rights…or at least will be before it…here in Michigan, there is a court case challenging the constitutional amendment that keeps gays from having the same rights to marry and adopt children as the rest of us have…I am getting to the point that I consider this a human rights issue…I could just say “this doesn’t affect me” but that would be wrong..in the US we are all supposed to be equal in the eyes of the law and this amendment singles out gays and lesbians as being a “little less equal” to quote from “Animal Farm”. I feel good that all of the spurious arguments that the gay haters use to try to justify their discrimination are being exposed to the light of day for how ridiculous they are and we are finally going to have the start of real equality in all facets of life for all of our citizens. It’s about time…and, look, I think it’s going to be fun watching the haters on the right go crazy when the vote goes the way of equality…who are they going to hate next? Geez…
