While the headlines about the recent poll on same-sex marriage in California state-- " TIGHTROPE: Politicians try not to anger voters -- 50% of Californians oppose same-sex unions"-- my reaction is, That's it?!? Just 50% oppose? That's not even a majority, that's at the half point. What was the number 1 year ago? What was that number 2, 5, 10 years ago? Much, much higher. In 1996, during the Defense of Marriage Act crap, the number was way higher. I take away from this headline, not that we're losing or that we're opposed. I take away from this headline that we are winning, and more quickly than any of us thought before. Get on the side of history. History is here. And we are ready for our equal rights.
