I hope this is true

Dragon Mood? -- disappointed but stalwartly hopeful

I know that all the media pundits are saying that Schwarzeneggar is going to veto the same-sex legislation that passed both houses of the California legislature ... BUT, some day it will happen.

Here's an excerpt from an article that made me feel better ... and more hopeful:

Social conservatives in California are feeling pretty cheerful now that the governor has said he will veto the same-sex marriage bill. And yes, across the country, 11 states, including California, have passed bans on same-sex marriage.

But here's some advice: Enjoy it now. It isn't going to last.

The right wing is missing a powerful, building undercurrent. Simply put, at this point, much of the younger generation has probably gone to school with openly gay peers. They also see them in the workplace and even in their neighborhoods. And they don't seem that scary.

...[from] Assemblyman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, who wrote the same-sex marriage bill...

"Those over 65 oppose same-sex marriage,'' Leno says. "But those under 35 support it -- and more strongly than those over 65 oppose it.''

While the battle for legal same-sex marriage may rage for years, it seems clear there is a general shift toward support of committed relationships between same-sex partners.

I hope sooner rather than later. It can't happen too soon as far as I'm concerned!
