Crying foul on Martina Navratilova

    The California Supreme Court takes away our right to marry

    Obama compares our relationships to incest and pedophilia, Gov. Sanford (one of the main opponents of gay marriage) secretly flies to Brazil for an affair, the catholic church spent over $1 million to enshrine discrimination into the state constitution......so you write a column about a retired tennis star ????

    Evidently you have some issues with Martina but geez, how about we get the equal right to marry first, then you can talk about how much growing up we have to do.

    Let me guess, your a "fierce supporter" of gays rights just like Obama?
