The Christian Right Picks California for Culture War Election Showdown

Religious Right groups see California's marriage referendum this
November as Ground Zero.

Robin Tyler and Diane Olson spent every Valentine's Day since 2001 at
a courthouse in Beverly Hills seeking a marriage license in
recognition of their years of commitment to each other.

Every year, they were turned down by the same clerk, until finally, on
June 16, the state official handed them a California marriage license,
which now reads "spouse and spouse" instead of "husband and wife."

Their wedding ceremony, which was performed by a rabbi outside that
same courthouse, included 65 invitees, as well as more than 100
reporters and photographers from all over the world who wanted to
document the historic moment.

You might compare that with the number of lives lost on 9-11. Or the
economic injury incurred from that event.

It would have been cheaper in both lives and money to just suffer
another 9-11 every six or seven years.

Peace and justice,"
