standardProp 8 Struck Down as Unconstitutional

If you haven’t noticed, this blog is basically dead.  Mostly this has been due to a lack of time and a lack of content.  Sure there are always teabaggers to make fun of, and the religious fundamentalists are always going to be forcing their beliefs on us, but in comparison to the Bush era things are good.

Today though I wanted to come out and express my overwhelming surprise and joy that Prop 8 has been struck down.  Read more about it over at the Bilerico Project.  I also wanted to point out that while I am very happy about this development it still pisses me off that in 2010 we have to hope for court rulings to ensure American citizens get equal rights.  What the fuck.  Anyhow, great news and I highly recommend reading Judge Walker’s Opinion.

Someday I’ll be independently wealthy and can afford to lie about all day sipping margaritas and blogging. Until then I’ll be posting RSS Roundups of the most important stories of the day before.
