Los Angeles Daily News Opposes Prop 8

The Los Angeles Daily News has editorialized against Proposition 8. "California is better than intolerant Prop. 8":

The backers of Proposition 8 understand that Californians, for the most part, are a tolerant bunch who don't discriminate against people because of their sexualgender. So they framed their pitch in a convoluted warning about how children will be denied fathers, be forced to hear about homosexuality in school and be generally tainted by open gayness of society. It's all a smokescreen.

This proposition isn't about kids and won't affect them, other than to perhaps make life for their two dads or two moms easier. It is about tolerance. And that's something that Californians - forward-thinkers that we are - have always supported and celebrated.

Currently marriage is of such low value to couples of opposite sexes that divorce is as common as changing a job. It's refreshing to see members of society so desirous of committing to one partner that they would fight fiercely for the right to do so.

Reject Proposition 8. California is better than that.

Amen, brother!

Hope that news and recommendation is carried throughout all the Dean Singleton newspapers. Would really help reach the conservative voters whose minds might not be made up, or convert some of those that were.
