Yes, in California, there has been a very large range of support for equal marriage and the most surprising of which came from a public utility company. Such support from such an unexpected source is always welcome and I should hope that this inspires other government agencies to take the right stand in the way for equal rights and equal marriage. The public utility in question is Pacific Gas and Electric and their support for equal marriage was announced by Darlene Chiu, their spokeswoman. And as it turns out, this kind of position is not at all odd for this public utility to make, as they have been fighting for equal rights and were one of the first companies to sponsor a LGBT association in the 80s. They have also fought actions to curtail affirmative action and crack down on illegal immigration. Now, is this a company that cares about it’s citizens or what?
And of course, the Religious Reich was at it again, protesting the public utility stating that public utilities should not take such positions. This is quite hypocritical because while these people are making a perfectly legal statement with their support of equal marriage, the churches could be charged with violating the rules of their tax-exempt status by contributing to political candidates’ campaigns and influencing how the religious reich votes. But I digress…
The point is I want to give a standing ovation to the public utility that supports civil rights and social justice!!!
