SAN FRANCISCO - Attorney General Kamala D. Harris today asked the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to dismiss its order prohibiting same-sex marriages in California until an appeal of Proposition 8 is resolved.
Please please please let this be true. Let the Republicans focus on an issue that even their own constituents rank at the bottom of things they care about. That's right Cantor and Boehner. Focus on this instead of jobs. See how far it gets you.
Rightfully so, a judge has ruled that even in death, the state must honor it's law to recognize marriages performed elsewhere.
Finally a media person explains the difference between ENFORCING a law and DEFENDING a law in court. Unlike Gringrich and Beck who don't seem to know the difference
Looks like the bigots are coming out of the woodwork and (over)reacting to the DADT repeal.

"Hasselbeck joins growing list of conservatives who lack courage to defend truth on homosexuality"
A top British judge has ruled that Christian beliefs have no standing under secular law because they lack evidence and cannot be proven. Gary McFarlane protested that he was fired because offering sex therapy to same-gender couples violates his Christian principles.

Unlike the school that cancelled a prom recently, this one in Georgia has no problem with a gay teen bringing their date.
This is a response to commentary made by David Boies in the WSJ on July 20th. Mr. Boies is one of the attorneys bringing the Prop 8 battle to Federal Court. Read the whole article, but here's some choice quotes:
Oh there's gonna be some trouble brewing now!!! Seems ol' Arnold pulled a fast one and used line item vetos to cut an additional $500 million out of the budget than was agreed upon AFTER the legislature had left town for their recess.

LA TIMES Story of the California Supreme Court Split Decision
SPLIT DECISION. No surprise. Upheld Prop 8 but also upheld the marriages.
Story of the impending mass convergence on Fresno and one Pastor's view of things there.
Story about plans for the prop 8 ruling in Long Beach, CA and plans in Fresno as well.
Proposition 8's validity will be ruled upon on May 26th. Win or lose, Decision Day events are planned all over the state (and nation) that day. And Following on Saturday May 30th will be the "Meet in the Middle" event in Fresno where thousands will converge.
Opinion piece from New York Daily News in regards to the move towards gay marriage equality and how it relates to kids and families.
