Imagine, if you will, that in the wake of the passage last fall of Proposition 8 in California, a group of social conservatives thought it was time to reintroduce the Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA) in Congress. As they did, they announced a national media campaign to promote the measure, encouraging [...]
I can hear them now; it’s a marriage between a man and a woman so it must be OK. But according [...]
More often than not, a reader pens a comment which deserves a post of its own. And so it is with the questions DRH posed in response to my piece opposing the judicial resolution of gay marriage:
1) Do you really think homosexuality will *ever* become a non-divisive issue?
2) How [...]
Earlier today, in the wake of yesterday’s vote in the New York Senate rejecting gay marriage, the folks at AOL asked me to write about about gay leadership. Shortly after I sent the completed post it, they published it. Let me whet your appetite with the first three paragraphs.
In [...]
A reader alerted me to a strange piece on David Frum’s site in which Jeb Golilnkin said that the GOP will thank conservative lawyer Ted Olson for, together with liberal attorney David Boies, appealing “the constitutionality of California’s ban on gay marriage“:
If they were to succeed in showing the [...]
I know that I’m not just whistling in the wind with this post, but whistling in a typhoon.
First of all, I believe Tiger Woods behaved badly in cheating on his wife. He betrayed his marriage vows and hurt someone to whom he had pledged fidelity. And while, by dint of [...]
The sports commentariat is discussing the likely truth of the rumor, apparently first reported in the National Inquirer, that Tiger Woods has had (is having?) an affair with another woman than his wife. His marriage and his family are also reportedly "in trouble". None of this should surprise any normal adult human [...]
This, from the California that narrowly voted to undo same sex marriage. This from the same California that faces [...]
According to Wikipedia, while the Empire State recognizes same-sex marriages performed in a different state, it, like most Northeastern states, does not have a domestic partnership program.
Gay marriage advocates ever eager to have states recognize same-sex marriage without making a case to the people why gay marriage is a [...]
From the New York Times, moments ago:
The [New York] State Senate defeated a bill on Wednesday that would legalize same-sex marriage, after an emotional debate that touched on civil rights, family and history. The vote means that the bill, pushed by Gov. David A. Paterson, is effectively dead for [...]
The effort to take the marriage equality battle back to the California ballot in 2010 experienced a major [...]
The effort to get same sex marriage on the California ballot in 2010 took a hit Monday. Rick Jacbos, the leader of the 700,000-member Courage Campaign just told us that after spending more than...
[...] About a year ago, somebody asked:
I enjoyed reading the post but am confused by your response to Snacks stating that you support mature, responsible gay relationships but because the motivation for gay marriage is not purely protection of the minority you are against gay marriage. My question to you is why should the [...]
California Majority Report contributor Garry South appeared on KNBC-LA's "News Conference" with political reporter Conan Nolan this weekend.
In the interview, he discussed Gavin Newsom's reasons for dropping out of the gubernatorial race (big state, no base, hard to raise money), Tom Campbell's chances of winning the GOP nomination (none, [...]
America's Roman Catholic bishops aren't completely obsessed by abortion and gay marriage. My former colleague Ann Rodgers, one of the best religion reporters around, reports in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that bishops have been battling over whether to approve a retro English translation of the Mass with more traditional (and, [...]
Generally we use the "Matrimonial Madness" category for discussions of same-sex marriage; but not this time. Today, in a bolt from the blue (staters), the Senate Democrats have snuck a ringer into Majority Leader Harry "Pinky" Reid's (D-NV, 70%) version of ObamaCare... they created a new tax with a nasty [...]
....nothing. Oh, and you sick freaks thought thought she was going to air something like this ?

Oh, how I miss Molly Ivins.
"This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage."
That’s from [...]
The Washington D.C. City Council is poised to slap same-sex marriage (SSM) on the table in our nation's capital, whether the citizens want it or not. And now, to add insult to penury, the District of Columbia Board of Elections and Ethics [sic] has made its own contribution to democracy... [...]
It's a combination of issues so hot, an op-ed about reopening King-Harbor hospital doesn't even make the top three! Leading off is a pair of [...]
Want to repeal California's ban on gay marriage? You now have five chances to get an initiative on the ballot.
Pay attention, 'cause this could get confusing. No less than five initiatives have...
[...] Bruce just forwarded me a message he got from Twitter about gay activists setting up a “Bigot List” of donors to Question 1 in Maine, the successful ballot measure to “veto” a marriage law passed by the Pine Tree State’s elected legislature.
Now, like those who publish this list, I opposed [...]

It looks like the politically correct brigade is out, and this time their ship has docked at Brookstone, a gift shop at Boston's Logan Airport.
Peter Vadala, a deputy manager at the store, was their latest casualty. The 24 year-old was tending to his duties when in walked a' [...]
