The moment when we found out Prop 8 was ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. 9th District Court of Appeals on the steps of the court house in San Francisco, February 7, 2012.
The speech was given by Kelly Rivera Hart during a celebration rally that evening at the San Francisco LGBT Center.

Russia, I would shake my head at you if it wasn’t already weighed down with blighted hope. The situation becomes more dubious for the Russian LGBT community as the St. Petersburg legislator pass the ‘Gay Propaganda’ bill through its second reading.
The bill’s purpose is to ban the ‘promotion of homosexuality’, and preserve the “minor’s moral and spiritual development,” which is the biggest bunch of santorum I’ve ever heard. RIA Novosti also tells us the fines have increased by a factor of 10, so now you can be fined up to 500,000 ($16,200) for “public activities promoting homosexuality (sodomy and lesbianism), bisexualism and transgender identity”.
I stumbled upon Davey on YouTube the other day and I thought I’d share. He has a whole host of cute videos on his channel and he’s pretty witty. Check him out when you get a chance. He’s pretty nice to look at it…
I love seeing things like this! One more example for the antigay bigots to use to prove children raised by gay or lesbian parents are damaged and inferior! 
Clearly, NOT.
My new favorite thing is to bring my new favorite person (our baby) out with us when we go somewhere to have fun.
This past weekend we went to a housewarming, and we didn’t have to take the initiative to meet new people at all! It was perfect. One by one at least half the guests came by to say hello and ask us questions about our little one. Easy questions, too! Just basic stuff we didn’t even have to think about to get right. (Not like anyone would know if we got her weight wrong, anyways, but still…)
So, if you’re awful at parties and hate being that shy person in the corner everyone ignores and/or feels sorry for, I highly recommend getting a baby!

Mitt Romney was lucky this time.
The former Massachusetts governor barely avoided being hit by a handful of blue glitter thrown at him by a protester at a Colorado caucuses watch party in Denver Tuesday night, the Denver Post reported.
Gay-rights advocates have been tossing sparkles at GOP nominees with glittering frequency — three times in the last three days — though the practice has been in place for months.
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum managed to smile through his latest glitter-bomb Tuesday night in Minnesota, buoyed by an unexpected sweep there and in Colorado and Missouri. Texas Rep. Ron Paul’s turn rained down Monday night at a rally in Minneapolis.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, as usual, is old hat at such things. His most spectacular glitter-bomb attack came back in May 2011 at a book-signing event with his wife.

Ellen DeGeneres responds to all of the hate from One Million Moms in her usual fantastic manner, and also shout outs a ‘thank you’ to JC Penny for standing by their decision to hire her! So without further ado, Ellen!
Washington will become the 7th state to offer marriage equality in the United States. The Senate passed the bill last week and the House passed the bill today. The governor is expected to sign the bill into law, which would take effect after 90 days of the governor’s signature.
Currently, New York, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Washington DC have marriage equality for same-sex couples. Opponents of marriage equality have already started gathering signatures to put this to a vote in November; however, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling this week on Prop 8 would probably apply to Washington as well. Washington falls under the same appeals court and the circumstances, if this were to go to voters, would be nearly identical.
