marriage equality
I've been perusing TK boards today and am also getting constant updates about the two cases at the Supreme Court for marriage equality. May be some monumental changes coming!
Have you seen the red equality sign on facebook? Here's more info, from the Human Rights Campaign: http://www.policymic.com/articles/31104/human-rights-campaign-red-marriage-equality-sign-goes-viral

[QUOTE]I am a firm believer that everyone is entitled to equality. I hope sooner rather than later the rest of the country begins to agree.

[QUOTE]I'm so excited and really hope they come down on the side of equality. <strong>It really bothers me that this is an issue at all</strong>. I also didn't know about the red thing.

It bothers me more to hear the argument that this should be left to a vote of the people. We do not vote on eachother's civil rights.

Oh, well listening to a woman at an anti "gay-marriage" rally on C-SPAN around noon, apparently it's the children. They will never know the security of having a loving father watching over them at night or hear the gentleness of their mother's voice during the day and any child of divorce can tell you how detrimental that is. Yep. because there are so many heterosexual divorces, nobody else should be allowed to marry. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around understanding this logic.</div>

<div>Gotta agree with that 100%. It kills me that my mom thinks it will, can't explain, and still won't let her mind be changed. I love her, and my whole family, but it still hurts to watch them stand on the wrong side of history and not realize it.</div>
We've done it before, it's our strength as a legal construct. Eventually a minority talon hold on the law gets shaken loose as more and more people realize that it's dumb and unfair. Plus I think most people realize that the nations sshitlist is ever shifting, and itns only a matter of time until they end up on it.
GLB - so excited that I saw you post this link so I can listen to the arguments!!
