A lot of good information for those of you who, like me, did not know enough of the history... read all the way to the end, it's worth it.

Thanks Jen! Really good article. Spot on assessment of where we are and how things went down. I agree with the writer: gay democrats really did give Obama a pass. His mixed message, being opposed to gay marriage and Prop 8, did us no good.

As luck would have it, I came across this this article this morning from the LA Times.

Prop. 8 gay marriage ban goes to Supreme Court

The California high court will review legal challenges to Prop. 8. A hearing is set for March. Prior to a ruling, gay weddings will not be allowed to resume.
