Same-sex Marriage

The following video is a press conference held by the current San Diego mayor, Jerry Sanders. In the video Jerry reveals that he has changed his mind about a City Council resolution that will allow same-sex marriages. As a Republican he was initially against the resolution but he has decided to "lead with [his] heart" and "to take a stand on behalf of equality and social justice." I think what Jerry did was an amazing act and I wish more people would come to the same realization. I am not gay but I do support the gay community in gaining equal rights. I find it appaling that in our society we still have groups of people treated as somehow less worthy than us "normal" people. Anyways, watch the video:
