Flotsam and Jetsum

This one needs attention: The anti-equality measure on California's ballot is now winning in the polls. Gay Americans are not second class citizens. If you can't give money - give time. This is a matter of simple justice. Not "social" justice. No is asking for "special" rights, only equal rights.
