In Washington state, some anti-gay groups are trying to to repeal a civil rights law. David Goldstein is seeing that it doesn't happen. AP has a piece today on the growing "acceptance" in Alabama: "Leader of Equality Alabama, a statewide gay-rights group, Bayless is one of many with the same conviction. In Mobile, Tuscaloosa and elsewhere, Alabama's gays and lesbians -- like their counterparts throughout the U.S. heartland -- are slowly, steadily gaining more confidence and finding more acceptance." There is still a potential ban on marriages though. In the race for governor in Iowa, three candidates are vying for the democratic candidate. Ed Fallon (who has a blog, but not a real one) has this to say about SSM: "I support the full rights of all people, regardless of sexual orientation. I’ve never understood why some people believe that there’s a limited amount of love in the world. If Harold loves Steve, is it any harder for Mary to love Oscar? I support same-gender marriage – the right of all adults to enter into committed, loving relationships – even as I support the right of religious institutions to practice their beliefs without interference from the state. As with all civil rights issues, it can be healing for all of us to adopt more accepting views of people who are different." You can read about the latest debate which took place Saturday in Iowa in the Globe Gazette. It seems to be a hot topic in the primaries James C. Cobb on the ruling in Georgia; specifically, the actions of the governor, Sonny Perdue: "Our nation’s vaunted separation of powers may always have been a polite fiction at best, but, if so, it is nonetheless a fiction far better maintained than abandoned. Regardless of the issue or the setting, when the people who aspire to make our laws set out deliberately to make those charged with interpreting those laws either their whipping boys or their stooges, they dishonor the offices they seek and undermine the institutions they have sworn to uphold." |
