_______________Inside the Mind of Uncle Doreen

At 9am  March 5th the Supreme Court of California will hear the oral arguments regarding Proposition 8.  The judges will be required to submit their decision in writting with 90 days.  By June 3rd I will know if the State of California deems me an equal citizen worthy of all the rights and privlidges as other Californian’s. 

What frustrates me the numerous criminals currently held in California prisons that have this right.  I have done my utmost to live an upstanding life (and aside from my gay-walking ticket at a Prop 8 protest in November.)
