Whoa, let me get this straight...

So was MLK a: Bigot (n) - A prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from his own... because he was a relentless stand for equality and civil liberties for all men?

Come on guys... lets be honest with ourselves. We read columns to get other peoples PERSPECTIVE and OPINION. This is not a news story. Get over it. So she says supporters of prop 8 are losers and maybe not that smart... does that make her racist? A bigot?

No, YOU make that distinction based on the stories you have about yourself. Those are your stories, in your head... How are they working out for you?

There is nothing "coded", racist or intolerant about this read. We are talking about about support for HUMAN RIGHTS and the fact that the majority of CA voted from a place of fear.

Lets not forget that Starshine has provided a platform for Ms. Barrett's powerful request of all women. The beauty in this column is not what Starshine's opinion is, it is that we, the reader, get to CHOOSE what to think, action and BE because of this information. In true Starshine fashion she keeps it real, light and hilarious with quotes from friends and dry one liners. What you HEAR and listen for as a reader is a direct reflection of your outlook on life.
