One and One-Half Class Citizen (tags)
The California Supreme Court decision on May 26 upholding the validity of Proposition 8, the ban on same-sex marriage voters approved in last November’s election, but also ruling that the estimated 18,000 same-sex marriages in California between June 15 and November 4, 2008 were still legal, left the same-sex couples who got married in time (including this author) in an anomalous position. We can’t really call ourselves second-class citizens because our marriages are still in force, but we can’t call ourselves first-class citizens either because other couples with love and mutual commitment equal to our own can no longer follow suit. In a sense, the voters and the courts have granted us “special rights” we neither wanted nor expected.
As George "War" Bush speaks at Normandy this Memorial Day, May 27, 2002, in an insulting attempt to cast himself in the image of a World War 2 hero, let us remember that the Bush family has a history of collaboration with the Nazis, and this latest American Hitler is carrying on that same tradition. His junior partners, the Zionists, also are well-known Nazi collaborators.
