Conservative Contortions

We find it infuriating to read headlines like this:

After Vetoing Gay Marriage Bill, Schwarzenegger Signs 4 Other LGBT Laws

It is frustrating to see elected officials trying to have it both ways; not wanting to "seem" overly supportive in order to be unoffensive to the wing-nut bigots while at the same time, throwing out scraps to "the gays" so the official we will be more acceptable to their saner constituents.

Especially when you consider that a law granting us the right to marry would end the need to create a complicated tapestry of benefits and protections that only highlight our difference and create a legal purgatory.

If you want to send Schwarzenegger and your own state's elected officials a message that you can see through their little facade, please sign the marriage equality petition and we will pass it on!
