I Don't Love New York

Remember my post about the marriage referrendum in Maine? The recent vote on marriage rights in the NY state legislature is demonstration of the kind of mindset such referrenda encourage: that gay rights, civil rights, are somehow “optional” – things to be voted upon. That “all men are created equal” has exceptions.

There are already protests happening in New York and that’s good, because we are going to have to demand our rights and some accountability from the elected officials who court us during elections and then think they can ignore us once they’re in office.

Like I said before, this isn’t over by a long shot.
