California's Attorney General To Fight For Equal Human and Civil Rights For Everyone

Today, Jerry Brown (pictured on the right), California's Attorney General asked the Supreme Court of California to repeal the highly unconstitutional, Mormon and Fundamentalist Christian lead proposition 8.

The misleading and hateful proposition 8 passed on election day, by playing on peoples' fear, cultural & religious differences, and extradited stereo types.

""The amendment-initiative process does not encompass a power to abrogate fundamental constitutional rights without a compelling justification," he wrote. "Proposition 8 lacks such a justification."

Brown, who served as governor from 1975 to 1983, is considering seeking the office again in 2010. After California voters passed Proposition 8 on Nov. 4, Brown said he personally voted against it.

He submitted his brief in one of the three legal challenges to Proposition 8 brought by same-sex marriage supporters. The measure, a constitutional amendment that passed with 52 percent of the vote, overruled the Supreme Court decision last spring that briefly legalized gay marriage in the nation's most populous state."", according to a Fox News Channel report.

We have the separation of church and state in America. This was the founding fathers reaction to the King of England being both head of the church, and government. They did not want these zealots and snake oils salesmen to have undo control over the government. Many of the founding fathers went out of their way to make the point that the United States of America was not founded as a Christian nation, no matter what personal believes they held.

The Mormon church is in some trouble with IRS for possibly funneling millions of dollars of it money to the YES on 8 campaign. If this found to be true, it would violate the law, and the Church's' tax -free status. The IRS is investigating to see if a hearing is needed.

Mormon temples have been targets of massive protests by Human and Civil Rights Activists. Also indoctrination numbers by the church's missionaries has dropped since the church's involvement in this was made public.

It is extremely sad that some hide behind religion or religions to cover their own perverted message. Jesus would be ashamed at this. He preached a message of love and acceptance of all people. Were the backers of proposition 8 preach hate, bigotry, fear, and deception in order to get more power, control and money.

In a BBC News report, "The Supreme Court has said it will hear the challenges to Proposition 8, but that pending its ruling, the ban on gay marriage remains in effect.

The court has said a hearing on the challenges could be held by next March.

Connecticut and Massachusetts are the only states to allow gay marriage. Several other states allow civil unions. "

I was born just out side of Boston, Massachusetts, and spent my teens, and part of my 20's in Connecticut before moving west to Las Vegas, Nevada.

I support equal Human and Civil Rights for all people, this includes GLBT Rights. This is an major area were I use my political training and skills.

We can't let the forces of hate, and intolerance win!
