Think of Prop 8 and how a whole class of people were voted on because we are not like them. Me and the rest of the brown people, except Gonzalez of course, have suffered through many forms of this prejudice, segregated schools and public accomodations. </p> <p>This latest round merely proves, as Glenn points out so beautifully, this judgment, this hatred has simply morphed from Confederate uniforms to the suits and ties of the Republican party. I wonder what their ultimate end will be like. I hope I am here to see their statues pulled down in the town squares across the country.</p> There are many of us who are not like them.

This latest round merely proves, as Glenn points out so beautifully, this judgment, this hatred has simply morphed from Confederate uniforms to the suits and ties of the Republican party. I wonder what their ultimate end will be like. I hope I am here to see their statues pulled down in the town squares across the country.

My mother never accepted her. Short time later my parents divorced and we are still married after 36+ years.<br /> Intolerance hurts everyone and the GOP should realize that.</p> I can relate to sweet land. i was born a Dane and I married to a woman of German heritage.
