Default I will be following this trial with some trepidation

There are high stakes. And considering that both the NY and NJ legislatures voted down gay rights measures (I live in NYC), I wonder about the timing of this case. That said, I am aware that there is no right time in the advancement of civil rights.

What's interesting is that in both states (NY & NJ), the reason given for not instituting gay marriage was blamed on the economic climate. It is as if those voting had the crack-pot idea that just because times are hard there isn't enough to go around. Not enough marriage? Of course it doesn't make rational sense, but it does tell those of us who are fighting for our rights and many are thinking only of themselves.

If we win this case we win big.
