Foeke,
Hello, pleased to make your acquaintance.
I am curious where you are reading this news about the state of marriage in the US. ONLY in Massachussetts is it legal, and there is a big effort there (led by nominal christians) to overturn it via ballot initiative to amendment the MA constitution.
CA nearly legalized it last year but Schwarzenegger vetoed it, that is correct.
Maryland - I know it isn't legal there, and I'm not sure what condition that state is in, regarding the marriage battles.
So that leaves only MA.
Also - I saw Paragraph 175 on TV yesterday and I could not believe what I heard in the interviews. Interviews of some 4 or 5 people (one lesbian who fled Germany, and several gay men who had been held in concentration camps) and the general sense I got from hearing them speak was that no one knew it was coming. That it was a complete surprise to them when the arrests started. It is heartbreaking, but you should watch it if you get the chance.
