Those opposed to Proposition 8 keep trying to paint this as a gay rights issue. It is not a gay rights issue. It is actually a freedom of religion issue, and a moral issue. Gay civil union couples already have the same rights and privileges that married heterosexual couples have, under the current laws of our state. More ...

The discourse on Measure U has degenerated in recent weeks. As we get closer to the election, the discussion seems to be more about "winning" a 10-year struggle between proponents and opponents. The personal attacks and ugly accusations are all petty and irrelevant. More ...
