State's Most Conservative Newspapers Say 'No' to 8

Newspapers come out against Prop 8

Here's an interesting observation regarding Proposition 8, the November ballot initiative that seeks to eliminate gay marriage, compliments of the California Majority Report:

Incidentally, Prop 8 joins Props 7 and 10 as one of only three initiatives without a single editorial board endorsement. One would imagine the Orange County Register, San Diego Union Tribune, or Tracy Press would adamantly reject a proposition that allows "people [to be] sued over personal beliefs" or puts churches in danger of losing their tax-exempt status, as Professor Peterson falsely claims in the [Yes on Prop 8] ad. But instead, three of the state's most conservative-leaning editorial boards endorsed a No on Prop 8 position, because, as the Tracy Press explained, "We shouldn’t change the state Constitution to take away civil rights."

Taking away rights = not a Californian thing to do.

As much as it's easy to assume that the OC Register would have a thing against gays. They/Press-Telegram actually publish their own LGBT bi-monthly magazine called CLOUT. www.CLOUTmagonline.com

 

Well that is great. I have seen a particular Conservative Lesbian get trashed on LAist for voicing their opinion and standing up for themselves. This is inconsistent with the norm here...

 

Ohhh poor 'lil TUA.

She stands up for herself just fine scotyosh. As far as getting trashed, I've noticed she dishes it out as well as she gets it. But go ahead and create a victim.

I'd say she's being treated like anyone else.
