Marriage rights

The California Appeals Court decided that they should not be the ones deciding whether queer people can marry or not. It should be decided on by the legislature or the voters. California's legislature historically did just that not all that long ago, and the Governator vetoed it, saying the courts should decide. The people have already spoken with the outcome of Prop. 22 a few years ago. Where does that leave us? Back to educating the populace.

Wednesday is National Coming Out Day. Support your fellow human beings out there, and talk about it if you're queer. Studies show that the more people who personally know gay/lesbian/bisexual people are more likely to have favorable opinions about marriage rights, adoption rights, military service, etc.
