As it is, it does appear like there is no one to speak for the people of California who voted to accept Prop 8. Don’t get me wrong- I don’t believe people should ever have the right to vote on the rights of others, but in California they do have that right, and that is why I think the judges will probably grant one of them as having standing.

I thought this was a very telling illustration of the way bigots justify their hate. This bill, proposed by the NDP’s ‘LGBT’ critic Bill Siksay, is merely the latest attempt by the homosexualist lobby to force their ideology on our families. It will lead to even greater restrictions on our freedoms as we’ve[Read More…]
there is a homosexual agenda, and that agenda is to be treated with the same rights, responsibilities, and protections as straight people currently enjoy.
OK, so this is way off topic for me, but these types of things really get me interested, and so I have to post about this. Science bloggers are going a bit nuts over the vague announcement by NASA on Monday that it will discuss an “astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life.†Some writers and bloggers are speculating that it could be a discovery on Mars, which has been[Read More…]
