Textbook Example of Media Bias on Marriage Neutering

The print version of Carol J. Williams' update on Proposition 8 ran today in the Los Angeles Times. The very headline uses the bogus, biased "gay marriage ban" phrasing. That is reinforced as the article starts:
Proposition 8's ban on gay marriage will remain in effect while a federal appeals court decides whether it violates the Constitution, the appeals panel ruled Wednesday.
The paper also still has trouble admitting that Prop 8 is an adopted constitutional amendment, referring to it as an "initiative" and "ballot measure". It also equates marriage neutering advocacy with "gay rights" advocacy, though they are not synonymous. This is done to make it seem like opposition to marriage neutering is akin to being against the rights of homosexual people, when from what I can tell, I’m actually for more rights for homosexual people than most marriage neutering advocates.
