Around the City we saw signs, "8 is hate". Because it's a civil-rights issue involving a minority of the population, I can see how getting a majority of the people to vote for it is a problem. I don't know the details, but it seems that litigation is the way this can be resolved. The civil rights movement of the 1950s and '60s turned around with movement's victory in the Supreme Court with Brown v. Board of Education (1954). When is a case going to be heard by the Supreme Court that will settle this issue?
