This just in!  The California U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Proposition 8 violates the U.S. Constitution.  Take that Michelle Bachmann.  


It is just a matter of time before the discriminatory law D.O.M.A. will be ruled unconstitutional and then same sex marriages will be legal throughout the United States.  More important same sex marriages will be legal at the federal level which means same sex couples will no longer be treated as second class citizens who pay first class citizens taxes and will enjoy all the protections and tax benefits that heterosexual couples now take for granted.


I never thought I would see this much progress in my lifetime.  Who knows, maybe Bill and I will really get married someday just like our friends, family and neighbors.  To no longer be discriminated agains, that is a dream that may yet come true in my our lifetime.
