How ironic that a CHURCH that once advocated multiple wives for its male members (pun very much intended) would work so hard to deny the CIVIL RIGHT of a gay person to have just one spouse.
Heck, 4 million is peanuts...

Frank Rich of the New York Times offers a couple of plausible scenarios for why the Obama Administration has been so completely flat-footed regarding “the gays” since the inauguration.

Gay rights advocates in the US were already getting impatient with the Obama Administration's lack of action on their issues, but even the NYT thinks the recent DOJ brief defending DOMA was the equivalent of taking a big dump on gay citizens.
Make that a half-dozen

New Hampshire has become the sixth U.S. state to recognize the right of same-sex couples to marry...the 4th state to do so in the last two months, and 3rd to do it via its elected legislature.

It's been about 24 hours since the monumentally disappointing ruling b the California Supreme Court upholding VERY narrowly approved amendment to the state's constitution that stripped same-sex couples of their right to marry.

It's Memorial Day in the United States, and while I haven't lived there for quite a few years now and I have been a vocal opponent of the war in Iraq for nearly all of that time, I am very grateful to those who serve in our armed forces.
And then there were five...

Add Maine to the growing list of states where same-sex couples can marry.
I particularly like the name of the new law:
LD 1020, An Act to End Discrimination in Civil Marriage and Affirm Religious Freedom
Des Moines likely not the next San Francisco

The New York Times is asking if the recent hullabaloo over Miss California’s fielding of a question on same-sex marriage during the Miss USA Pageant is a sign of a broad social shift on the issue of equal rights for gay people.

Vermont Gov gets pwned on gay marriage veto
Tuesday, 7 April 2009 5:23 A GMT+01
First Iowa, now Vermont!
Both states legalized same-sex marriage in the past week; one with a unanimous decision by its Supreme Court and the other with legislation that survived its governor’s veto, which was especially satisfying.
I’m guessing the

The Iowa Supreme Court's UNANIMOUS decision to overturn that state's ban on same-sex marriage brought to mind that wonderful exchange between Ray Kinsella and his father (played by the impossibly handsome Dwier Brown) in Field of Dreams.

Obama's olive branch to "the gays"

The President Elect's transition team is insisting that progressive ECUSA Bishop Gene Robinson was invited to participate in inaugural weekend festivities before the Rick Warren Invocation Debacle, but I'm not really buying it.
It had to happen eventually...
Monday, 22 December 2008 9:46 A GMT+01
