Same Sex Marriage on Shine

Prop 8 is upheld: Why in the world is legalizing same-sex marriage such a problem?

The updates by my friends and colleagues on Twitter and Facebook seem to be exploding with the news that the California Supreme Court upheld Proposition 8, a state ban on same-sex marriage. The ban was passed in last November's elections with 52% of the vote. Today, after reviewing whether or not the proposition is constitutionally sound, judges ruled 6 to 1 than the ban would stand.

Does this offend you?

Could you handle a day without the gays?

In celebration of International Human Rights Day on December 10th and in reaction to anti-gay ballot initiatives in California, Arizona and Florida, DayWithoutAGay.org has come up with a brilliant way to peaceably fight the opposition. The gay community is asking for supporters not to call in sick, but to "call in gay" in order to take the day off from work to volunteer time with various organizations that promote equality. (For those who fear getting fired, there are other ways to get involved.) Oh and you don't have to be gay to call in, duh. Given the huge organizing success of Join the Impact and the nationwide protests this past Saturday, we wonder how many people will actually call in and say, "Can't work, I'm too gay today."
