Save the Date


Last week conservative Judge John Walker ruled that gay marriages could proceed starting August 18th - this Wednesday. I have received no formal invitations for weddings in California but a rush of 'I dos' is expected.


I witnessed my first same-sex exchange of vows this summer in DC where gay marriage was legalized earlier this year. The couple had been waiting for over 40 years to officially tie the knot. Now California couples can proceed with their ceremonies starting Wednesday. Let's just hope their rights are not taken away again - as they were with Prop. 8. The case is expected to be seen by the Supreme Court a year or two from now.

  1. Today's the day! I hope you realize that you play a huge part in changing the minds of simple minded representatives of our nation. You should pat yourself on the back for this accomplishment.

  2. Someone who works tooth and nail to elect conservative candidates like Boehner and McConnel does not equate to someone working hard to fight for equal rights. Pretend to be justified more, thank you very much.
