FEAR AND LOATHING IN AMERICA - TEXAS POLYGAMISTS IN, GAYS OUT
Florida, the land of Anita Bryant, will reach a super-majority who refuse relationship recognition to gays. What do you expect of ... Florida?
Arkansas, captive to holy rollers, will ban adoption for gay and lesbian families, but will surely collect taxes from them so that other people's children can have their schooling paid for.
Arizona, on the other hand, had been one of the few 'enlightened' states, but now looks set to jettison that. A sort-of legal-beacon on the issue, Arizona had once rejected polluting their constitution with arcane social discrimination(s) by adhering, instead, to a thoroughgoing minimalist constitutional interpretation that kept 'activist judges' at bay. But that wasn't enough for America's Mullahs. They want "veto", just like their Muslim counterparts, over the constitution itself.
Out-of-state money, much of it Mormon, appears likely to keep ALL deliberative legislative and judicial bodies, including the current Executive from the "Conservative Party", from permitting civil marriage for gays and lesbians, in California. Los Angeles county didn't come through for their gay and lesbian fellow citizens. Neither did San Diego county.
America falls further and further behind the rest of the world. Meanwhile, gay kids get fed a constant notion that they do not have a full place at the table.
