There is a schism in California between Equality California and the popular will of the people which is supported by the Courage Campaign. Equality California put out a big press release yesterday claiming the challenge to proposition 8 would not be until 2012. They claimed it would take that long to persuade 3% of California voters that equality is a good thing. Prop 8 only passed by a 2.5% margin in 2008. They also do not think they can raise enough money to make a go of it in 2010. Equality California was responsible for the highly criticized campaign that lost in 2008.

The AP reported on Sunday: Married same-sex couples will be counted as such in 2010, Census Bureau official said, reversing a decision of the Bush administration. The US Census is a Constitutional requirement and is vitally important to our Republic. During the 2000 Census there were not any states that allowed same-sex marriage equality. Now [...] Moments ago New Hampshire became the 6th state to provide marriage equality to all of it’s citizens! The Governor signed the bill today after the legislature added additional language to protect religious institutions from recognizing same-sex marriages. He threatened to veto the bill if the changes were not included. Massachusetts, Iowa, Connecticut, Vermont, [...] Against the warnings of the ACLU and Lambda Legal, two high powered lawyers filed a case in Federal Court against proposition 8. The case is based on the 14th Amendment. With only three possible dates left for the California Supreme Court to rule on Proposition 8 rumors started flying this morning that tomorrow was the day. |
