As someone born in the midst of the Civil Rights Movements of the early 60s, the thought of these covenants existing let alone being enforced is hard to believe. I shake my head to think of those times when people were so worried about their precious neighborhoods going down the tubes due to “people of color”!

I hope someday my grand-kids will read Mike’s grand-kid’s articles about how people in California freaked out when gays wanted equal rights so they could marry their betrothed. “There was a time Johnny when your mothers could not have married. People were frightened. They deemed it wrong!” Jeeeze….
