proposition 8 ruling: a big fat mess
May 26th, 2009
So where does the gay community stand with regard to its fight for marriage equality in light of the Proposition 8 decision in California.
Some states allow us to get married. Just today we learned that some of us were allowed to get married in one state but now the rest of us can’t. None of us are allowed to get married in most of the states. A state or two will recognize those of us who got married in some other state but in the vast majority of states, those of us who were married in those states in which we were allowed to get married are not actually married at all when we are in those other states.
You probably had trouble following that.
Me too.
