I want to thank Jon Ralston for his tongue-in-cheek "endorsement" of Question 2 in his Oct. 27 column. The sad part is that this hate-filled, bigoted initiative from the "Christian" right is probably going to be endorsed by a majority of voters, who don't see it for what it is -- gratuitous gay bashing.
The Nevada statutes are already clear -- marriage is between a man and a woman. Prostitution, gambling, booze, smoking and divorce -- Nevada leads the country in these freedom-of-lifestyle issues. However, Question 2 draws the line and makes it clear that Nevada will not tolerate gays, even when other states have stood up for equal rights for this discriminated minority.
