I definitely called it on this one. I knew that gay couples were going to flood the statehouse this morning at 12:01am in New Hampshire! It was a historic moment for gay and lesbian couples in the United States, as New Hampshire’s move to legalize same-sex marriage was officiated with dozens of couples tying the [...]

Apparently the Government Doesn’t Proofread in Texas

Some like to call it an amendment goof. I prefer to call it irony at its best. Thanks to the investigative work of Democratic attorney general candidate Barbara Ann Radnofsky, we can all see exactly how a constitutional disenfranchisement of gay and lesbian couples can backfire.

After the Maine set back, I found myself dreaming of Canada. A country that recognized the rights of consenting adults to embark on legally sanctioned partnership . Why is it so hard for people to let other people be happy and feel accepted?
In some countries, this isn’t as big of a struggle.  Belgium, Canada, Netherlands, [...]
