My lovely readers,
I have remained relatively quiet about the goings on in California...that is until now. I read this article, and won't keep my mouth shut any longer.

This is an appalling thing. It makes me very sad, because I do love my country. Because I am a patriot. Because I believe in equal rights for all American citizens. Because I believe in religious freedom. I do not wish to see our country regress to the days of refusing business to those who are different. I do not wish to see a minority be treated as though they are second class. I do not wish to see my church violate tax laws by siding with a political cause then instructing me as a member how to vote, and how to spend my time and money. I do not wish to see any of this. This is a very bad thing. This is a very scary thing. You have to protect everyone's freedom if you want to protect your own.

Look, I am not that kid who compares everyone who disagrees with me to Nazis, but when I read the linked article it strongly reminded me of this:

Slippery slope, people. I have enough faith in our country to believe things won't get anywhere near that bad, but let's not blow past the parallels in our haste and ignorance either.
You complete me.
