The San Francisco Chronicle's editorial writers have been on a roll lately. Today they have a fantastic response to the NY Supreme Court ruling. The first paragraph:
LET THERE be no doubt that there will be a time, perhaps not long from now, when Americans will shake their heads that such bigotry against gays and lesbians could prevail in the early years of the 21st century. The arguments against allowing same-sex couples to marry will then seem as universally ludicrous as the notion that anyone in modern history could defend segregated schools, separate drinking fountains or prohibitions on mixed-race marriages.And it goes on from there, demolishing the court's (and homobigots') arguments, arguing for marriage equality as a simple matter of fundamental decency. Read the whole thing.
[That's all, folks]
