WA Marriage Decision Due
I'm on a business trip today, so posting will be slow and I'll probably be otherwise occupied when the Washignton State Supreme Court rules on marriage.

An Honor To Be Nominated
Asides
- Wear A Hoodie, Get Removed From House Floor
March 28, 2012 | 1:29 pmApparently, a Black man can’t wear a hoodie in Congress either. At least he didn’t get shot.
- No John Edwards Sex Tape
February 24, 2012 | 10:57 amThank goodness! The John Edwards sex tape — the one he made with his mistress and campaign videographer — will suffer the same fate as Edwards’ political career. It will be destroyed. Let’s hope no copies were made, and that one less of these things will be making the rounds online.
- Whitney Traffic
February 15, 2012 | 2:07 pmWeird. I haven’t posted anything about Whitney Houston’s death. I have an unfinished post that may go up soon, but that’s it. Still, I just peeked at my stats and discovered this 2008 post about Whitney House and Amy Winehouse got over 2,000 visits this weekend.
- Two CPAC Disappointments
February 10, 2012 | 5:00 amI came away from CPAC a little disappointed yesterday, for two reasons:
- I missed the dating seminar, which would have been entertaining, if nothing else.
- With GOProud gone, I couldn’t find any gay people to hang out with — even gay right-wingers would have been bright spot.
On the up side, it looks like I may be partying with gay, Republican presidential candidate Fred Karger tonight.
- Bah, Humbug. Here’s My iPhone 3G
November 29, 2011 | 12:18 pmOK. I plead guilty to this When I got my iPhone 4, I gave Parker my old iPhone 3G (with parental controls in place, phone service deactivated, everything restored to factory settings, history wiped clean, and internet access and the App Store on lockdown) to play games on, etc. But does that make me a “Scrooge”? Puh-leeze. An eight-year-old needs the latest iPhone?

The decision published this morning upholds the WA State legislature’s passing of the Defense of Marriage Act in 1998. Marriage between persons of the same sex remains a dream in WA State. I am crushed once again.
Yeah, I would have hoped our State would have been better than that. But “hate the gays” seems to be all the fashion; I’m just thankful that Tim Eyman couldn’t get enough signatures for his anti-gay campaign. [This year, the WA State legislature finally passed an equal-protection law; Eyman's petition would have put this up for a vote - as if people's civil rights should ever be subject to a popular vote.] He even made the rounds whipping up the right-wing pastors and megachurches, and fell tens of thousands of signatures short. Maybe people are getting tired of the social wedge issues? One can only hope so.
But…it was a 5-4 decision; if we fight the candidates for the state supreme court that the BIAW puts forth (the construction/developers/builders lobby, roots in the Birch Society – very radical right-wingers), and get rid of some of the crappy deadwood, like Alexander, Sanders, and Johnson, we would be doing good.
