Yea it's why I find the whole thing to be bullshit and on that I'm with Az (HeelvsBabyface) as he also disliked the whole episode.
It jarred so tonally with the rest of the show. Some damn Gay Utopia where Frank was able to live out his Gay playing house shit. All damn peace and garbage. Which they ADMIT to making for the awards season.

It's more that the initiative is always poorly worded. I remember hearing from family in Kentucky. The ballot initiative for that was like three pages of just jargon and made it seem that yes meant no.

Science is only pushed by the winners. Isaac Newton had his contemporaries slandered and their works expunged because he wanted to be the gold standard.
