Well, Missourians, wake up and smell the political reality for this November: SJR 29 passed the General Assembly today. It is a homophobic and destructive piece of legislation which puts an amendment to the state constitution on the ballot, at the same time as the presidential election (how convenient), to mandate marriages be only between a man and a woman. Get ready for a very public cultural war in my Show Me State. It's no longer time for silence.
