I’m not looking forward to the politicking next year regarding the marriage amendment to the state constitution. Hurtful and mean-spirited things will be said. Otherwise good-hearted people will reveal themselves as bigots. But it’s encouraging to see at least a few Republicans coming out in opposition to the ballot measure. The vast majority of elected Republicans will either vigorously campaign in favor of it or stay mum to avoid crossing the homophobic base of the party, so the willingness of these few to break with dogma should be commended. Perhaps a few more prominent Republicans will be inspired to make a stand for equality.
