Teachers and Prop 8

[storytimewithjoe]

WooHOO!!!!  I read this morning that the L.A. Teachers union has donated to ads AGAINST Prop 8.  They recognize this as a matter of civil rights - end of story.

WooHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

California Teachers Association is opposing Prop 8, which pretty much means all California teacher's unions are. :)


Recently when asked about this issue, Drew (speaking as the prez of his teacher's union) stated that CTA is concerned for the rights of ALL members, and the point of the union is to fight for them.

The president of the CTA is a gay man. I'm sure that greatly influenced their decision.

How do I know this? A mutual friend (who meant well but didn't really understand how the whole gay thing works) tried to hook the two of us up at a California Democratic Party convention. This despite that he's old enough to be my father. And this was on the floor of the convention, right in front of the podium. I guess she figured, Chad is gay and so is David, ergo... We both realized what she was doing and I jokingly said to her "what are you trying to do, break up a happy marriage?" and he said "make that two marriages!" She turned beet red and I think she went on bought the Miss Manners Guide to Homosexuals to prevent further embarassment.
