My own marriage has been cheapened ever since those two women were allowed
to marry in Massachusetts.

It certainly makes me want to get a divorce and start having out of wedlock children.

Can't wait to see the prop 8 supporters go buh-listic when their appeal is denied for lack of standing.

NY Times:
Justice Department to Stop Defending Federal Law on Gay Marriage
President Obama, in a major legal policy shift, has directed the Justice Department to stop defending the Defense of Marriage Act - the 1996 law that bars federal recognition of same-sex marriages - against lawsuits challenging it as unconstitutional.
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on Wednesday sent a letter to Congress to inform them that the Justice Department will now take the position in court that the Defense of Marriage Act should be struck down as a violation of gay couples' rights to equal protection under the law.
"The President and I have concluded that classifications based on sexual orientation warrant heightened scrutiny and that, as applied to same-sex couples legally married under state law" a crucial provision of the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional, Mr. Holder wrote. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/24/us/24marriage.html?hp

Unfortunately reason needs a little help, these days.

I spend a lot of my life attending talks and seminars on various subjects.
One of the best in the last couple weeks, was by David Bois, the attorney who is co-lead (with Ted Olson) in the case to overturn Prop 8.
Brilliant talk, wonderful logic. This guy is one of the great thinkers of our time.
This video is not that talk, but is from another occasion, and covers the same topic.
27 min, plus Q&A. DONE WITHOUT NOTES OF ANY KIND.

Liberalism?
Don't Republicans control at least half of the NY Legislature?

Just the senate. The Assembly is overwhelmingly democratic.
One senate republican (Roy McDonald) has this to say about the measure:
"f*ck it, i don't care what you think. i'm trying to do the right thing"
More republicans than were needed ended up crossing party lines in order to pass the measure. I'm not in his district and he's a republican, but I hope he crushes in his next reelection campaign.

Uh-oh...NY just invited the wrath of God. Expect terrible things to happen in the next few months. Like maybe Derek Jeter's injury being worse than first thought.

when you try to redefine marriage, then marriage no longer has a definition...it can mean anything to anybody
Which is as it should be.
I'm thinking that if polygamy is legalized, then I'll finally tell Locker that I've been seeing Dolly (the sheep) behind his back, but if he's willing to accept it, we can all be married.
