SocraticGadfly: Why does even Sonoma County, Calif. hate gays?

Why does even Sonoma County, Calif. hate gays?

If anti-gay rights actions and government attitudes like this can happen even in a theoretically liberal bastion, it shows that gay relationship rights simply are not safe, fully safe, anywhere in this country that doesn't have gay marriage.

Now, what if this couple hadn't wanted to be married? Nonetheless, if California had gay marriage, I think Sonoma County officials would have had a lawyer hit them over the head — a county lawyer — from the start, telling them that gay long-term live-togethers had the same rights as straights.
