Prop 8 - that ballot measure that would change the California constitution to take away the fundamental right to marry for same sex couples - the one the Religious Right has spent tens of millions of dollars to pass or face Armageddon - that one.
A producer for a local NPR radio station called to cancel my appearance on the network version of the show - because the guest host wanted someone non-partisan, someone who could talk fairly about both sides of the issue. And obviously, as the gay news editor for two LGBT publications (lIN Los Angeles magazine and Frontiers magazine) - that wasn't me.
