• Mexico City Passes Gay Marriage Law

  —Booman Tribune

  Mexico City showed more bravery then many North of the Border States this year when it came to gay rights, and just in time for Christmas, too: Mexico City has become the first city in Latin America to legalise same-sex marriage, giving gay couples more rights, including allowing them to [...]

  The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington DC says they will cancel all their contracts to do charitable work with the city if the City Council legalizes gay marriage as they are expected to do. The proposed D.C. law, expected to go before the council for a vote in the first week [...]

  —Suburban Guerrilla

  Number of comments: 1
  

  So much for Mark Sanford’s “hopes to reconcile.” It’d be too easy to trot out the tired Evita quote for the missus’ response. Between the book deal and the TV appearances (has she been on Oprah yet? I honestly don’t know), she should land on her feet faster [...]

• Scott Mervis on the Boss -- funny? amusing? lame? what say you ..

  —Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents

  Yesterday, I posted a statement from Bruce Springsteen in support of marriage equality.
  
  "Like many of you who live in New Jersey, I've been following the progress of the marriage-equality legislation currently being considered in Trenton. I've long believed in and have always spoken out for the rights of same sex couples and fully" [...]

• Daylin Leach: Moral giant; master debater

  —Pawatercooler.com

  A friend passes along a clipping from this weekend’s Times Herald, in which the ‘Cooler’s beloved Daylin Leach tackles a recent Star Parker column called “Sodom in the Nation’s Capital“. Admitedly, this is not one of Parker’s more tightly constructed columns, however, her point is clear: gay marriage hurts the institution [...]

• Sestak, Endorsements, and Gay Marriage

  —Above Average Jane

  Number of comments: 0
  You may have already heard that Congressman Joe Sestak, candidate for Senate, was endorsed today by Congressman Barney Frank. What does this mean? Washington Post reporter / blogger Chris Cillizza of The Fix classifies it this way:
  In the release touting Franks' backing, Sestak focused on the Massachusetts' [...]

• Wuerl

  —Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents

  The Post-Gazette offers up what I find a disappointing (but better than most) piece on Archbishop Donald Wuerl's handling of the D.C. move to legalize marriage equality. A glaring omission is the lack of voice of a single gay person from Pittsburgh.  Quoting Casey and Doyle was interesting from [...]

• Gay Marriage Loses in NY

  —Brendan Calling

  Dear New York:

  As a straight man, you’d figure that I don’t have a dog in the marriage equality fight. And you’d be right, sort of.

  But I’m the kind of person who backs up his friends, and a lot of those people happen to be gay. So on their behalf, [...]

• Question

  —Booman Tribune

  I'm a New York state resident. Today I've received three robo-calls from the infamous National Organization for Marriage (NOM) (well known supporter of Carrie Prejean until her porn videos and lewd pictures started appearing on the internet). The automated speaker keeps asking me if I'm registered to vote in New' [...]

• Why The Manhattan Declaration rankles me

  —Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents

  The PG offers up a front page explanation why I dislike this project.
  
  This is the headline: Christian leaders vow to resist gay marriage, abortion
  This is the line that gets me.  The lines, rather.
  The marriage section decries heterosexual promiscuity and infidelity. It says that churches often failed to provide good models and [...]

• Family Values and the Economy

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  Via Glenn, I read an article about boomerang kids, and how the economy is affecting young people. Neither Bitter nor I are boomerang kids, but Bitter moved up here partly due to the job situation, and we're certainly putting off marriage because of the poor economy. Because we're putting off marriage, [...]

• Turkey Week Musings

  —Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents

  The Ravenstahls are divorcing (there's no legal status of separation in Pennsylvania).  That's unfortunate.  What's even more unfortunate from my point of view is that the Mayor wants privacy around his marriage, but doesn't extend the same standard to other people's marriage. I wish them privacy and that this' [...]

• The Catholic Church Goes Crazy

  —The Pennsylvania Progressive

  Pope Nazi I is taking the Catholic Church over a cliff.  The former member of Hitler's Nazi Youth is instilling an authoritarian, intolerant and evil twist on Jesus' teachings.  Just recently we've witnessed the Church pressure Congress to pass the horrid Stupak-Pitts Amendment, threaten DC over same sex marriage rights [...]
