Guest rimchair Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 ""Former California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman confirmed Tuesday that she had signed a legal brief supporting same-sex marriage, saying her views on Proposition 8 had changed "after careful review and reflection" and that "the time has come" for marriage equality. The Hewlett-Packard CEO was one of dozens of prominent Republicans who, according to The New York Times, has signed an amicus curie brief supporting a lawsuit seeking to strike down Proposition 8, California's voter-approved state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. After years of litigation in lower courts, the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments about the constitutionality of the ban next month."" http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2013/02/meg-whitman-signs-legal-brief-supporting-gay-marriage-in-prop-8-case.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyOz Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 It is my opinion that these additional support briefs may be the reason the court rules the way it does and it is my firm hope that it rules for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TampaYankee Posted February 27, 2013 Members Share Posted February 27, 2013 I think you can read this as Meg is done running for office, as a Republican anyway. TotallyOz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EXPAT Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 And she knows she has to support gay and lesbians at HP to attract good talent. I know HP supports domestic partner benefits and has some of the best policies regarding anti-discrimination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I think you can read this as Meg is done running for office, as a Republican anyway. Well, or else part of a nascent movement to drag the party back from the far-right edge of ruin it clearly, to most except the TPers, now stands on.
