The Looming Question, "Is Marriage Equality Still Inevitable?"
21 hours ago ago from Unite the Fight
The question of whether or not marriage equality is inevitable has been raging on the internet from both sides of the issue in light of recent setbacks in Maine and New York. It's a natural question to raise, especially if you've been fighting the good fight, making historical advancements and suddenly face what appears to be a gargantuan brick wall. I myself have sat back and read what people are saying, but with the topic ongoing, I ...

Four decades ago, the gay rights movement burst onto the scene in the Stonewall riots of Greenwich Village . As we near year’s end in 2009, we close the fourth decade of gay rights activism and the first decade of the twenty-first century. You’ve come a long way, baby. A handful of states now offer marriage equality, either through court decree or legislative fiat. A handful more allow civil unions. The Matthew Shepherd bill extended ...

Robin is an old friend, she cofounded StopDrLaura.com with me, and she and her wife Diane were the first gay (lesbian) couple married in LA county after marriage became legal in California last year (before it was banned).

Like a good little queer activist, I've reformulated the question with the term marriage equality, which frames the thought in much more favourable terms. After all, who explicitly ...

Lisa A. Linsky: A Message to 38 New York State Senators: Shame on You
10 hours ago ago from Huffington Post
I am angry. There, I said it. On December 2, 2009, 38 Senators voted to prohibit same-sex couples from marrying in the state of New York. 24 Senators got it, and sought to bring this important civil right to our state by voting "yes" to marriage equality in New York. Sadly however, the vote was not even close, and while some will argue that it was progress to get the bill debated and voted upon in the Senate, I ask, "What do I tell my ...
