Today is Fat Tuesday. Party down.

Gay marriage. It’s the great civil rights issue of our time. What’s happening in San Francisco is downright inspiring as gays from across the country are making a pilgrimage to obtain the same legal right that straight people have always enjoyed. Mayor Newsome deserves credit for having the courage to go through with this. Not surprisingly Bush is making noise about a constitutional amendment banning it. (Way to endorse discrimination.) I don’t know how long the marriages will be permitted to continue but I believe that one day, as Americans open their minds and their hearts, such marriages will be commonplace. We will then look back upon these days as we currently look back upon the days when other minority groups were discriminated against.
