New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who recently appointed a gay man to the New Jersey Supreme court, has now come out in favor of a referendum on whether to legalize gay marriage. Although in the past, he vowed to veto gay marriage if passed, this would sort of take the issue out of his hands...

If that happens, and if it withstands a referendum, WA will be the 7th state to legalize same sex marriage. My question is at what point does this reach a terminal velocity that forces the rest of the states to change? I'm thinking of the Loving case. At the time only 17 states still had...

A story getting a fair amount of airplay up here in Canuckistan, is the plight of two women seeking a divorce. They are both non-resident, and had travelled to Canada in 2005 to obtain a marriage. Apparently things didn't work out, and they want to call it quits. However neither of them lives...

Stop me if you've heard this one before. Romney walks into a diner for a campaign hand-shaking meet-and-greet. He spots two old guys having breakfast, one obviously a vet, and invites himself to join them for a photo-op. One of the old guys takes the opportunity to ask Romney about his position...

http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/updates/2003 What are they talking about? Anyone see this? Did he really claim he would "overturn" a supreme court ruling, and if so, what does he possibly mean by this?

Story. I'll admit I'm not familiar with the laws surrounding the case but I my opinion a private organization should not be obligated to continue to employ a public figure that is publically expressing views the organization doesn't want to be associated with. Could someone familiar with the...

So says British Prime Minister David Cameron. Conservatives: Is he right?

Clint Eastwood: "I don’t give a **** if gays marry"

Who's the most popular governor in the country right now? If you guessed Andrew Cuomo, congratulations. He just passed gay marriage in NY and his favorability and approval rating both went up. Granted that NY is a blue state, but it has some fairly red parts too. Cuomo has also been effective...

I rarely venture into the politics sections, but I thought this article warranted it: I was wrong about same-sex marriage by David Frum. I'm not a terribly politically active person, and before this article I couldn't even have told you who David Frum was. But the fact that a socially...

The best part about it is that it was done by the legislature, rather than judges. New York Senate votes to legalize same-sex marriage in win for gay rights advocates :clap:

All he had to do was keep his mouth shut. But no, he has to convince rational people he is a dork. Was he quoted out of context? http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/06/16/new.york.gay.marriage.tyree/index.html?hpt=hp_bn1 I could not help but think of my brother who has done a good job raising his...

To review, she was the lesbian who toed the party line and supported Gillard by not supporting gay marriage. Now she is trying to change the party policy. Linky. Many are calling this a reversal, and are hoping that she is no longer a "traitor". Personally, I think she is following through...

Howdy all, Things are looking promising for the passage of the civil union bill in Illinois before the end of the year, but the usual suspects are gearing up to kill the legislation... http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20101117/news/711189836/ It is important for people to understand that...

...and why is the current Justice department appealing the Mass. ruling against it? Clinton was a staunch supporter of gay rights. Obama has said repeatedly that he thinks DOMA is discriminatory. I don't understand why they support DOMA. Is the Justice department required to appeal? Why can't...

http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_15548018?source=rss Makes sense to me. If people are so fired up to protect marriage, then protect the marriages that already exist. I wonder if other law makers will follow suit in other states. I wonder how many divorcees voted against gay...

Federal gay marriage ban is ruled unconstitutional It's a big step. Not a full win, but a big step.

Linky. Makes up for the whole volcano thing :p . Too bad the language is so crazy hard, or it would have moved up higher on my list.

Rep. Deb Mell of Illinois asked for a point of personal privilege to announce on the floor that she is marrying her girlfriend of six years. Of course, she is going to Iowa to do it. Rep. Harris has been trying to get a civil union bill to a vote for years, and it will probably be put off this...

Apologies if this has been discussed 20 million times already, but I'm new to the forum. And if this belongs somewhere else, please let me know. I'm gay, and I live in Texas. This state will secede from the Union before they allow queers to destroy the sanctity of marriage. But I digress...

Mexico City has voted to allow gay marriage in their city. It also allows gay couples to adopt children. The Catholic church is against this as are many Mexican citizens. I wonder if this came about as the result of decliningg tourism in this dangerous out of control city? Perhaps they want...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8413196.stm It is interesting to see how the many recent changes to UK law to prevent discrimination on grounds of religion, gender and so on are shaping up. We saw a case recently where it was upheld that someone's environmental beliefs couldn't be...
