Sacramento, CA – Today is election day across the nation and members of Equality Action Now, a local volunteer grassroots organization are watching three key areas who’s outcome could impact the struggle of the LGBTQI (Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Transsexual, Questioning, Intersex) community here in California. While Tina Reynolds, co-founder of Equality Action Now, and her army of volunteers are preparing for tomorrow’s “One Year Ago” rally and march at the state capitol to call attention to Californi... kpierce8272 waldorfandstatler 2009-11-04T22:55:52Z 2009-11-04T22:55:52Z

My thoughts are evolving on this issue, maybe the best thing for all men in California would be to support gay marriage. A: Gays wouldn't have anything to complain about anymore, what a relief that would be. B: They should be allowed to suffer and be just as miserable as most straight people in marriages. C: The family court system would be forced to become gender neutral. As it stands, the Court system is openly biased against men in divorce. In courts throughout California, women walk away with an unequal distribution of marital assets and they almost always get custody of the children, unless they are on drugs or insane. Gay marriage will create a dilemma for the courts to resolve - how to reconcile gender bias in family law matters. D: Gays are overwhelmingly politically liberal, if we take away their last reason to complain as a political force, in time many of them will evolve into conservatives. They will quickly tire of being overly taxed and over regulated. They will definitely start to vote more conservatively. They will no longer be single issue voters, they will be forced to look at the withholdings on their pay check stubs, their property tax bills in the same light as the rest of us. OK, THATS IT! I support the right for all people to suffer in a social construct that is virtually meaningless in modern society - most people get divorced, and few that are married actually respect the institution, so lets just get it over with and put it out of it's misery.
