CAL bigots attack domestic partners
Attackers and defenders of DP each claim Prop 22 is "clearly" on their side.
Like two armies on a battlefield, each claiming "God's on our side".

Did Prop. 22, passed by California voters in 2000, outlaw domestic partnerships?
Or did it merely prevent California from recognizing same-sex msarriages performed outside California?
Sacramento Superior Court Judge Loren McMasters heard nearly two hours of oral arguments on Tuesday,
24 August 2004. "The two sides are totally sure the initiative is clear and unambiguous on its face," he wryly commented, "but it means two entirely different things" (to the two factions).
Hence both sides err, when they claim that Prop 22 is "clear and unambiguous".
California's current marriage statutes, IMQO, cause confusion and invite hair-splitting.
