I'm so ashamed of North Carolina today. And so worried my own state will tip towards bigotry in November.

How afraid, how hateful do you have to be to outlaw something twice over? Oh, wait don't tell me; I already see is in Arizona where they're rewriting the tax code to make sure that even no public funds don't fund abortion already, private funds and private policies will be barred or punished.

denying equal protection of marriage laws to any citizen is unconstitutional for any state. All we need is a Supreme Court majority that can read the Constitution and someone to bring them the case

IIRC, the Proposition 8 California case (with attendant "it is against the 14th Amendment" argument) *is* headed to the Supreme court.

In the meantime, ol' Etch-a-sketch is insisting that the youthful "pranks" he can't remember were just assault and battery, but not gay bashing.

Gay bashing or not, knocking someone down and forcibly cutting their hair because "he shouldn't wear it like that" is the act of a dangerous jerk. He claims to have grown up since then, but I wonder.

His dog doubtless has an opinion on the subject.

Not to mention that Etch a Sketch didn't do it alone. He led a mob to do it. They remember and regret; why doesn't he do either?
