Last week gay marriage was legalized in California. Today New York's Governor has given the okay for gay marriages from other states and countries to be recognized in New York state.

Now the conservative nutcases are out in full force to deny this very important equal right to gays and lesbians in our country. The Human Rights Campaign is reporting that the right-wing lawmakers have gathered a petition of one million signatures to put a gay marriage ban on the ballot in California in November.

Isn't this the same discrimination that reminds one of the former law where a black person could not marry a white person?

If the majority of white people wanted to keep that ban would that be "right"? When will our government just say "This is it! Gays should have the right to marry like any other person and it doesn't matter what the majority says."? If the majority says it's okay to kill someone, does that make it right?

This issue is just crazy. Equal rights for everyone. That's what this country should stand for. It's time for some strong individuals to say just that. Let's not let gays be the new blacks.
