A Big Win for L-O-V-E
The California Supremes overturned a ban on gay marriage today. It's a big win for LOVE, obviously.
Big Question: Does the GLBT community return to its status of being the GOPs target for 2008? Or, simply put, is the GLBT community the new immigrants?
Well, the GOP is attempting to re-brand itself, but it seems like they are keeping immigration at the top of the list. No response to the California news, yet, though. Instead of being anti-immigrant and anti-Latino, I guess the GOP is going to pro-English-Only and pro-Border Wall? Now that's what I call rebranding!

hmm... good question....
i doubt it though, Obama, Hillary and McCain all opposse gay marriage but at the same time they all oppose a constitutional ammendment to ban gay marriage. they all have very similar positions on the issue of same sex marriage, they do differ on "Dont ask dont tell".
If any
I think that immigrants are the "new GLBT community." You have it the other way around. The GOP has been bashing gays for a long time, but the gay community is better organized than the Latino community is in the sense that they branded the scorn as hate from the get go.
Remember Bill Clinton and "don't ask, don't tell"? The homosexual community was on his radar before we ever were.
Thank goodness for the CA Supreme Court!
I know that Adriana. I meant...are we going to have a return to Gay bashing by the GOP? Which is why I turned it the other way.
In defense of Bill C., he got caught by a right-wing Congress and had to compromise A LOT. Don't Ask Don't Tell, Mend It Don't End It on Affirmative Action. Either way, instead of an all out ban, he kept the conversation on diversity going because of those compromises.
I know...I know. But still, I can't imagine if it would have been worse back then.
