UK Prime minister condemns California's Prop 8: "Be vigilant against all discrimination!"
Gordon Brown has condemned California's ban on gay marriage as "unacceptable" and warned people to be vigilant against all forms of discrimination.

The prime minister said the ban, backed in a referendum in the US state in November, would "undo" much of recent progress made in tackling prejudice.

1. That's pretty cool.
I didn't know Brown was that open minded.

11. It's so obvious away from the rightwing brainwashing and blather
it's how a statesman should talk and think.

The rightwing is at each other's throat, that's when they are even more dangerous.

13. I'm hoping that Obama will follow Brown's lead
and give a loud full-voiced condemnation of California's measure 8.

That would be great!
