Proposition 102 and Other Absurdities

Our own Declaration of Independence states: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.", except if you are gay. Somehow the freedom of religion granted to our citizens can be used to discriminate against a group of other citizens. When does the Bible trump our most honoored document, the Declaration of Independence?

Is it really the right of a democracy to pass, by popular vote, a law discriminating against our own citizens?  Just because we can vote does that mean we can pass amendments to our constitution that deny others the same rights that we enjoy under that constitution? 

I have been married for 28 years to the same woman. It is my only marriage. I'm proud of that fact, since it is more than most of my friends can say. Yet many of those same divorced friends speak of the "sanctity of marriage" as their justification to deny others their "Pursuit of happiness". Practice what you preach. 

Constitutional discrimination ought to be an oxymoron.
