greenie_breizhSome links:
- First, Obama and Bo running in the White House. The picture just makes me happy. :)
- A very interesting explanation by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
phaballa of what the Prop 8 decision says. It's an indispensable reading if you're interested in the issue, to make sure you understand the logic behind the decision.
-Following the decision on Prop 8 by the California Supreme Court, two attorneys have decided to take the case to the federal Supreme Court. I have ambiguous feelings about that, just because I'm also not sure that this is the best time to play that card. But we'll see. It needs to get to the Supreme Court first, anyway. I liked reading Corvino's opinion on the topic, in any case.
- Still following Prop 8, two pastors have decided to stop performing all weddings.
- Cheney has come out in favor of marriage equality. Yeah, that Dick Cheney. He also manages to say something important in a fairly offensive way, because, y'know, still Dick. But I think it's still a pretty significant declaration, and I'm curious to know what the reaction have been from Rush Limbaugh, etc. It's gotta be a hard blow for the ultra conservatives who adore him.
Moving away from Prop 8 for a second, two rather appalling links:
- On a 6th grader who was stopped from making a presentation about Harvey Milk because it was suspected of promoting gayness.
- On a high school in Georgia that still has a "white-only" prom. Plain scary and headdesk-worthy. (Thanks toshiraz_wine for the link.)
- And finally, "I am not Pro-Death", a story about abortion and working at an abortion clinic after having gone through it. (Thanks toqueenspanky for the link.)

Je reste sans voix sur le bal de promo "white only". J'ose même pas croire que ça existe encore. Pas mieux pour la gamine et son exposé sur Harvey Milk.
