Faces Of The Day

Nikki Eddy and her girlfriend Dawn Miller comfort each other during a Proposition 8 opposition rally at the San Diego Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Community Center November 5, 2008 in San Diego, California. Proposition 8, which bans same sex marriage, passed in yesterday's California election. By Sandy Huffaker/Getty Images.

Eugene Volokh differs from the California attorney general in thinking that existing marriages will be saved. 18,000 couples may therefore be divorced soon by their fellow Californians. One reader got a robocall from Hugh Hewitt, urging that gay married couples be stripped of protections in their relationships.

I'm happy to say that Proposition 2 passed, providing minimal humane protections for pigs, chickens and other farm animals. How odd for people to restrict cruelty for animals and simultaneously inflict it on some humans.
