17. You mean the same voters who just passed it in November?
Then why did they pass it in November, confusion? No, these are the same people who voted Arnold into office twice, that's all. The same people who backed the racist Pete Wilson, another CA Gov of wonder. I spend almost all of my life in CA, and if they are not voting on the rights they don't want immigrants to have, then it is gay people. It has been that way there for ages on end. Humans are forced to beg for decent treatment periodically by the California voters.
I remember one of my first votes was cast against a popular California measure to fire all the gay teachers, back in 78. Briggs. We defeated that one, but it took some hard core work. And here we are 31 years on, California again wanting to vote away rights from gay folk, having gone as far as you dare with the immigrant population. But CA is always ganging up on a minority and voting on 'em.
The denial thing is very much last week. CA needs to step up or shut up. Believe that.
