It's now official: the agents of intolerance, yet to pick up a single newspaper endorsement for Prop 8, have now lost every major conservative-leaning editorial board in California. And today's Bakersfield Californian endorsement against Prop 8 is the best editorial yet.

... On slippery slope nonsense:

"Proponents of the constitutional ban on same-sex marriage suggest that Prop. 8's failure would eventually open the door to people marrying their underage nieces, or exchanging commitment vows (presumably by proxy) with hamsters and assorted inanimate objects. Please."

On the supposed sufficiency of domestic partnerships:

"California has domestic partnership laws that encompass many of the basic legal privileges and responsibilities that married couples take for granted. But barring same-sex couples from legal marriage relegates them to "separate but equal" status. The term ought to sound familiar. It's the same oppressive language we once imposed on racial minorities in this country."
