Mark Leno made good on his promise to send another bill to the Governor to make marriage in California gender neutral. AB 43 passed the Assembly today. The Governator already has promised to veto the bill, saying that "the people of California have voted on that issue." That's a shameful way to validate the trampling of the rights of the minority by the majority. For more information on bills currently passing, check out CPR.
But anyways, as I was starting to feel happy that the Assembly approved legislation that would allow me to find the hubby of my dreams, Chuckie just had to piss me off by saying this. Whatever. All I say to him, and to others who oppose equal rights for all, is that allowing all loving couples to make lasting commitments for life strengthens marriage. Discrimination doesn't.
But enough of Chuckie, let's get back to the good news of today! Fortunately, most Assembly Members don't share the same distorted views as Chuckie. They recognize that the institution of marriage is only strengthened when the state does not discriminate over which loving couples can get married and which ones can't. Thank goodness they did the right thing today. : )
