Prop 8 Gay Marriage Ban

Let me stray from the sports world today. Have you ever read about injustices such as slavery, the decimation of American Indians or segregation, and wondered what you would have done had you "been there?" I would like to believe that I would have been on the side of the progressives and spoken up, but living in those times, who knows.

I'm writing this article because I want you to be on the right side of history. Trying to sell the ban on gay marriage at best sounds like (and is) discrimination and at worst, plain old bigotry.

Anyway, rather than have me spew some long, angry, sarcastic rant, check out this comprehensive and very well-researched essay about the arguments for the ban and their rebuttals. This essay was written by Scott Bidstrup.

There's more to say, but unfortunately I have 2 big tests this week and I think there's an election tomorrow.

Vote No on Prop 8 in CA or in any state that wants to ban gay marriage~
