“A resolution supporting a state bill to give gays the legal right to marry was unanimously passed Tuesday by the Los Angeles City Council, with members saying the issue was an extension of both the civil rights and women’s suffrage movements.
“Some of us feel very deeply and spiritual about this, but that’s not what this vote is for today,” Councilman Eric Garcetti said. “This is a vote that makes sure that government is neutral, that it doesn’t discriminate against any class of people, no matter how God created them, no matter who they are.”
TheStateOf…Gay Marriage. This vote put several Councilmembers with high political aspirations to the test, and I’m not surprised that the measure passed unanimously. In Los Angeles, gays are a powerful political interest group. Still, with respect for all, I remain undecided on the issue.
