mishalakYeah of course it has nothing to do with the fact that Gavin Newsom was previously fairly unpopular in San Francisco. Nooo of course not, perish the thought, politics don't enter into this at all I'm sure.
And I'm sure that his actions won't cause yet another state to change its constitution as did Hawaii and Alaska back in 1993 and 1998. Oh heck no, couldn't possibly set back the movement for equality and make it even harder for us to win the right to get married. No sense at all in bringing cases in states where we might have a good chance of having public support and waiting to do so in states where they passed anti-gay laws by fricking ballot imitative.
By gosh let's just nominate him our leader without ever raising the question of "Where the fuck was Gavin Newsom two years ago when Lambda Legal started this in Massachusetts?" Or perhaps, "Why didn't he lay some legal groundwork rather than just going at this willy nilly?"
He's just a parisite making a big noise to win political points from what I can see. It makes me sick that my fellow queers are falling for this like Republicans eating up Bush's rehetoric. I'm going to go give some of that money I don't have enough of to the real heros in this those lawyers in Mass.
