Waahoooo! Just from some of the words in here, like "Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown refused to defend Proposition 8, prodding the sponsors of the initiative to hire a legal team experienced in U.S. Supreme Court litigation," and "The federal challenge was filed on behalf of a gay couple in Southern California and a lesbian couple in Berkeley. They are being represented by former Solicitor General Ted Olson, a conservative, and noted litigator David Boies, who squared off against Olson in Bush vs. Gore," seriously make me light up with hope. This isn't a struggled-out single victory. This is the pressing of a momentum that's going to roll right up to capitol hill.
A federal judge in San Francisco decided today that gays and lesbians have a constitutional right to marry, striking down Proposition 8 , the voter approved ballot measure that banned same-sex unions.
My [today] is getting better. I've got high hopes for [tomorrow].
In other, less political news, my friend impressed some members just got invited, admission-free, to an intellectual summit in California. She lives in northern Europe. She can't go. It's a bittersweet experience.
