I hope all gay people take their tax dollars and move their primary

residence out of California and into a gay friendly state - they have some very rich gay people who need to stop funding that state and let their hate kill them and their social programs. They suck for doing this discrimination - it is an abomination.

In the meantime we'll starve the beast to the fullest of our ability.

has there been a primary thread with this link? All GLBT folk and their supporters should be made aware of this.....I fully intend to help starve that beast

:hi:

I tell you, I don't get surprised often but it shocks me there are so many bigots in California - I truly would never have guessed that. :o

and as the New Yorker once noted; plenty of free parking.

I am sure that if wealthy gay entrepreneurs and businessmen moved to Iowa, that would be fine with everyone. Both sides would gain. Iowans would take things in stride, as they usually do.

I live in Illinois, but I am not that far from the Iowa border. My husband's family has roots there. They homesteaded in Iowa before the Civil War. His family's plot is on the land there. He will be buried there. We still own ninety acres of farmland. My husband's former college roommate farms it for us.

We go to the Quad Cities all the time, which has a vital Democratic community. Across the river on the Iowa side there are also a lot of Democrats.

My daughter went to school in Iowa, and was a caucus leader in 2004.

No one seems to be getting all that upset about gay marriage in Iowa. Of course, Iowa is the most educated state in the union. It has the highest literacy rate. I believe it was the first state to allow interracial marriage, before Loving vs. Virginia. Why can't all the other states be like Iowa, going about their business quietly and modestly, letting everyone simply live their lives, no matter what their orientation?

I am proud that my family has roots in Iowa.

Me too, Muriel, me too. A common sense there that is solid.

it really surprised me

They are already stealing the film industry away from CA, and some high tech, too.

there would be 95% less actors in Hollywood, so all the "straight" unemployed actors would find work ...

(I believe that it was Pat who said that you pretty much had to be gay to make it in Hollywood ...)

And apparently a much more progressive state govenrment than California
