California currently accepts gay marriage, thanks to the 9th circuit. Still, there's a proposed ammendment to the state constitution on the ballot this year that would put an end to homosexual marriages by defining marriage as between a man and a woman. There seems to be very little interest in the proposition. Everyone I know will be shocked if it passes (even those who support it think it's a lost cause). In this sense, I think our state is progressing toward a more accepting future. I suppose there will always be a few who will continue kicking and screaming. I honestly don't think that governent has any right to define marriage or to limit sexuality between consenting adults.
When it comes to violence in schools - I look at stories like this case in Wyoming and I think, "What?!" I can't grasp why anyone would do it.
