I don’t know if it comes as a surprise to anybody, but Cuba is on the verge of recognizing the right to same-sex marriage. Homophobia is prevalent in much of the Caribbean, and revolutionary Cuba was no exception, but homosexuality was made legal in 1979, and things really started to change in...

The Supreme Court announced today that they will take up the case of a Colorado baker next term. The baker, who makes custom cakes for weddings, refused to make a cake for a same sex marriage. The Colorado Civil Rights Commission determined that the baker was in violation of the Colorado civil...

I looked on Social Issues and Current events and USA Politics, and (surprisingly) couldn't find a thread. I could've sworn there was one. So..merge away if there is one. We'll call this my Simon Morgenstern approach. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/kim-davis-rowan-staff-ordered-court...

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...
