America is supposed to be the land of the free, a nation of rights and liberties. Unless, of course, you happen to be gay -- in which case you are now once again a second-class citizen in California, as in most of the other states.
Yesterday, tragically, the California Supreme Court upheld Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in that state.
In passing Prop 8 by popular vote last November, and by upholding it yesterday, California has denied equal rights to a certain group of people.
This is tyranny of the majority.
And it sets a very ugly precedent.
