  1. Oh wow.... LOTS of fantastic links!

    What an exciting week. I know the decision won't come down until like June, but still... This could be the difference between 2 more years and 10 more years of fighting.

    My guess? The Supremes will cut the baby in half. If there's a way to do it, they'll do it that way. Leave Prop 8 but kill DOMA maybe.

    Interesting times... Thanks for the links!
