What I find ironic in our lovely state is that Proposition 2 is leading in the polls; meaning we are about to grant new rights to chickens, but the one man who lives outside our state, along with the support of many churches within our state have deemed certain humans worthy of having rights stripped and enshrining it in the constitution!
Don't we have bigger concerns out there than what 2 consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home? The movement behind this proposition is spending too much time trying to draw attention to what goes on behind closed doors in the bedroom, when the biggest challenge facing us as a country is what's going on behind closed doors in the BOARDROOM!
Nice priorities, huh? Awfully Orwellian; everyone is created equal, but some are more equal than others. Take for example, chickens.
Did you know that until it was ruled unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court in 1967, there were still 16 states that banned interracial marriage? It was generally banned on "moral grounds" or because it was viewed as being against God's plan...sound familiar? In fact, my friend's white mother had to cross state lines to marry her Japanese boyfriend because it was against the law in South Dakota. Just because someone objects to something on moral grounds does not make that thing universally morally objectionable.
