Bonus Current Events Content: Just because you’re gay…


15 Jun

Why do some people seem to think that the historically most prejudiced people out there (straight white males) are the only ones capable of being impartial?

Given the legal precedents, I did not really expect this ruling to come out any differently. Still, it’s nice to hear our legal system affirm being gay does not invalidate Judge Vauhgn Walker’s ruling in the California Prop 8 case. It was treated by reviewing Judge James Ware just like any other discrimination case. Women are capable of presiding over gender discrimination cases; blacks and Hispanics are capable of presiding over racial discrimination cases.

Prop 8 goes down

In the course of human history, we have proven over and over again that separate is never equal. One more step was taken toward equal rights for all US citizens today, and once again, it was taken by a Republican appointed judge.

Some will say that Judge Walker ruled against Prop 8 because he is gay. This was known before the trial but the Prop 8 proponents did not petition for a new judge. The truth is, it all comes down to either we believe that all men were created equal, or we don’t. I know which side I’m on.
