In a welcome follow up to an earlier story, Brad Pitt’s altruistic act of last week has now been matched by Mr. Spielberg. He and his wife, Kate Capshaw, have donated $100,000 to the fight against Proposition 8, California’s repugnant ballot initiative to ban same-sex marriage.
“By writing discrimination into our state constitution, Proposition 8 seeks to eliminate the right of each and every citizen in our state to marry regardless of sexual orientation,” the statement said. “Such discrimination has NO place in California’s constitution, or any other.” says their statement.
If same-sex marriage bothers you, don’t marry someone of the same sex! The notion that you can, and are entitled to impose legislative boundaries on other people’s freedoms is absurd. If anyone suggested forbidding two people to get married because they were black the protest and outrage would be instant and immeasurable, yet this personal freedom is apparently fair game. I disagree.
Liberty and freedom are constitutional rights, not a Woolworth’s ‘Pick-n-Mix.’ You either guarantee them to the entire population, or no-one. Visit the ‘No on 8‘ site and make your choice…
