Yesterday was a really big day for civil rights (though we must admit that Wednesday was a pretty shit day). I’m sure you’ve heard about DOMA and Prop 8 already, and honestly a lot of the legal stuff is really confusing to me. There’s still plenty to be sorted out and still a long road ahead for full marriage equality. I hadn’t planned to go down to the Supreme Court again, but when my building lost power and I couldn’t be home working, it seemed like the place to go.
Today is a big day in our nation’s history. I am optimistic and hopeful that the Supreme Court will come down on the right side of history by overturning Prop 8 and DOMA when they make their ruling in a few months. Today they heard testimony on California’s Prop 8. I can’t tell you how disappointed I was in my old home for showing such homophobia and discrimination, but now the Supreme Court has taken up the issue and has the opportunity to make it right for all those who suffer because they love someone of the same sex. I was at the rally this morning in front of the Supreme Court, joining my voice in support of love and marriage and against bigotry and hatred.
