“CONCLUSION
Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite-sex couples are superior to same-sex couples. Because California has no interest in discriminating against gay men and lesbians, and because Proposition 8 prevents California from fulfilling its constitutional obligation to provide marriages on an equal basis, the court concludes that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.”

- Got chills. “The court concludes that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional” is a beautiful phrase. (via blurintofocus)

'Wow, what a long engagement that was!'

'Wow, what a long engagement that was!':

They fell in love, and Bob “stayed and stayed” — through good times and bad, sickness and health, through Stonewall and Vietnam, through the terms of 12 U.S. presidents, starting with Harry Truman. Through the loss of more friends than they care to count. They stayed together long enough to witness what they thought was impossible: Last Sunday, they exercised their newfound right, exchanging vows on a rooftop overlooking Pennsylvania Avenue, turning their six-decade relationship into a marriage.

“Wow, what a long engagement that was!” Bob said to their guests. “Sixty-two years! Something had to give.”

So muchas gracias to LA sextet Ozomatli for dropping the coolest equal rights anthem in eons. “Gay Vatos In Love,” from their new album Fire Away, was inspired by the protests against Prop 8 in California and the 2008 murder of transgendered teen Angie Zapata (who gets a shout out in the lyric); another “Singing for Our Lives,” this ain’t.

It took us a moment to notice because we’re so used to dancing pairs to be hetero, but Gaga’s male dancers’ romantic entanglements around the 3:30 mark make her Idol performance worth a repeat watch.

We love this (and it certainly makes us like Taylor Swift music more when the video features two boys falling in love) but fair warning — the University of Rocheseter students who made this cheat you of the would-be-perfect ending.

“

Mr. Chairman, speaking for myself and myself only, it is my personal and professional belief that allowing homosexuals to serve openly would be the right thing to do.

No matter how I look at the issue, I cannot escape being troubled by the fact that we have in place a policy which forces young men and women to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens.

For me, it comes down to integrity — theirs as individuals and ours as an institution.

”

- Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell hearings.
