		<description><![CDATA[Assuming yesterday’s closing arguments are any indication of which way Judge Walker will rule in the Perry v. Schwarzenegger Prop 8 case, it looks like an obvious victory for marriage equality advocates.  In a statement on the National Organization for [Heterosexual Only] Marriage's website the group’s messiah, Maggie Gallagher, seemed to admit this defeat, stating:

"Americans have a right to vote for marriage. Ted Olson doesn't seem to understand the argument, and judging from today's exchanges neither does Judge Walker. I expect Judge Walker will overrule Prop 8."

		<description><![CDATA[I've been following the story of Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga since their wedding day.  When the couple became the first men in Malawi to get "married," they knew the risk they were taking.  Shortly after their ceremony, they were arrested and charged with public indecency.  OnMay 20, 2010, a fter being denied bail because it would be unsafe for the couple to return to society, the two were sentence to 14 years hard labor.

		<description><![CDATA[Our country, and the entire world, is faced with a huge risk brought on by the actions of heterosexuals.  These sexually active persons, perhaps unwittingly, are placing our social and economic well-being behind their needs to get off.  In 1997, the International Journal of Epidemiology published a study regarding this horror afflicting heterosexuals titled, “Heterocopulative syndrome: clinico-pathologic correlation in 260 cases.”

		<description><![CDATA[Adam Candeub and Mae Kuykendall are law professors at Michigan State University in Lansing.  The two have been researching an interesting new way for states to issue marriage license.  They've proposed that states allow people to apply for marriage licenses online, dubbing the proposal "eMarriage."  Candeub told NPR:

"What we're arguing for is that states should formalize in their laws what they've always been doing in smaller degrees in specific areas, which is, allow people outside their states to use their laws."

		<description><![CDATA[Rick Jacobs, founder of the Courage Campaign (Los Angeles), has announced that polling indicates that overturning Proposition 8 via a ballot measure in 2010 looks bad. According to the Courage Campaign sponsored polling, providing equal rights to all Americans is not supported financially, with strong leadership or with an edge in public opinion.

While the leadership problem could easily be solved if the Courage Campaign would step up and lead, that doesn’t seem to be in the organization’s plan.  Instead, they have given up on a 2010 ballot initiative preferring instead to waste the valuable human resources, passion and drive available to the organization after over a year of rallies, protests, marches and lobbying days.

		<description><![CDATA[Perseverance will pay off in California next year.  Restore Equality 2010 officially launched its petition drive along with a social networking site, today.  The statewide group is a coalition of organizations committed to repealing the unconstitutional Proposition 8 which narrowly passed last November, damaging thousands of families in the state and destroying what could have been the election's most prized lesson: prejudice and discrimination are a thing of America's past.

		<description><![CDATA[I just spoke with Jeremy DaRos of RageAgainstTheRight.com who is attending the No On One Maine party in Portland at the Holiday Inn.  Attendees are cautiously optimistic as numbers are slowly working their way in.  Because Maine precincts are small, Jeremy tells us we can expect faster results than most states with large metropolitan city centers.

		<description><![CDATA[According to an article in the Huffington Post, a Justice of the Peace in Hammond, Louisiana has denied an interracial couple their right to marry.  The Justice claims he is not a racist, but is concerned for the future offspring of the children. 

I'm continually struck by the number of people that claim not to be racist or bigots while practicing racist or bigotted things.  Apparenlty, they know that being a racist or a bigot is wrong, and they are on the side of right --- right?

		<description><![CDATA[Watch the current Yes on 1 ads in Maine and you’ll see some familiar faces. Yes, right there on your TV screen you’ll see Robb and Robin Wirthlin bemoaning the fact that their child’s teacher read the book King &#038; King to the class. Why do they look familiar? It’s exactly the same footage used in the Yes on 8 campaign spots from California last year.

But this isn’t the first, or the second time the opposition has used essentially this same ad.

		<description><![CDATA[Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (NV) has been busy lately fighting for social justice, health care reform and the rights and promotion of a peaceful society.  In a September 20, 2009 letter to Derek Washington, Director of Diversity Outreach for the National Equality March, Senator Reid states:

"I will continue to work tirelessly to pass the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Act and the Employee Non-Discrimination Act, as well as to repeal the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy. I will also continue to advocate for funding of HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, research, and housing programs."
