Tip of the Hat

Brad Pitt yesterday donated $100,000 to the campaign to fight Proposition 8, the California referendum that would overturn the California court decision legalizing gay marriage. As we focus on the national election it's important to remember that there's an ongoing push by cultural conservatives in our nation's most populous state to rescind a fundamental right which has at long last been granted to gays and lesbians. Not only would the proposed law ban gay marriage again, but it would annul thousands of marriages that have already taken place. Very "pro-family."

Right now the proposition (to ban gay marriage) is polling at 34% for, and 55% against, which looks really good, and the pro-Obama turnout should help.
