Took this shot a few years ago near San Jose, California - on the drive to the Lick Observatory.

I caught a few minutes of Pat Robertson's The 700 Club this morning (and a few minutes is all I can stomach of that) and saw a news segment about California changing a law that would allow sexual orientation to a list of things that teachers or textbooks couldn't demean.

"California public schools could not demean gay, bisexual or transgender orientation under fiercely controversial legislation approved Monday by the Assembly." From the Sacramento Bee.
