IN SUPPORT OF UN-GRUESOME NEWSOM

Van Nuys, CA, March 14, 2004:  This week has marked turmoil in our quest for liberty and freedom for all.  And we feel it is only fitting to lay a succulent bone at the feet of Mayor Gavin Newsom, the neophyte San Francisco politician who ignited the national movement to allow same sex marriage.

Little did he know when he okayed gay weddings that so many mayors would follow in his hoof prints.  But now that the California Supreme Court has put the lid on issuing further licenses to gay couples, it's time to look at some of the unexpected consequences of Newsom's bold initiative. 

What is weird to us is that some gay dogs -- and cats -- have been objecting to the legalization of same sex unions.  "What if this doesn't work?"  asks Horace Felder of the Castro District in San Francisco. "Then all the recent NIPtuals will be annulled.  Our forward momentum will be crushed, and we will lose all the gains we have made."

We beg to differ.  It is the opinion of this column that Newsom is a hero. He has brought the need to legitimize same sex NIPtuals into the open. The country will never by the same.  We salute him for his courage, and urge you all to do the same.  You can make your meow, hiss or bark heard by writing in your opinion in our Letters to the Editor Bark Your Letter Here link. Be sure to put "Newsom" in the subject line!

Forward, trot!
