I am a Permanent Member (or Community Ambassador) of the Drupal Association.Keith Olbermann addresses the ban on gay marriage with the most clarity and eloquence.
Nice quote! Read the article about Jason West, mayor of New Paltz, New York.
“The bombs had started to fall in Baghdad, and that’s when we decided that we’ve got to take our government back,” West remembered. ”We can’t take the presidency, but we can take our village.”
Things are looking sunny in California. Brilliant politics and the long needed human face that needed to be put on the issue of Gay Marriange. I really enjoyed this article; City sues state saying ban on same-sex marriages unconstitutional. It is full of great quotes and little clues that change is going to come quickly and irrevocably. And I just love it when the Religious Right opens it’s mouth on the issue:
Politics has a funny way of rewarding small groups of people with acute needs. When politicians spend money to prop up an industry, for example, the cost to the average taxpayer is small enough that nobody really notices. Yet the industry in need must be having a severe problem and undergoing great pain, otherwise they wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of seeking help from the politicians. In the same way, I believe that gay marriage will eventually become the norm in America, and in most of the world, though it will surely take a long time. This is because the need of the couples seeking marriage is far more acute and severe than the cost to those who oppose it.
