other news…
Gay marriage and family values
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/editoria…
Like the delegates to the Episcopal Church's convention, a growing number of Marylanders have come to realize that gay couples in long-term, committed relationships have always lived in their midst as neighbors and colleagues who have contributed to their communities. Moreover, many of them are raising families, and the children of those unions are going to be here regardless of the outcome of November's referendum.

Items one and two of this post must have NOM twitching. This is also good news in terms of our efforts to continue educating the general public.
Good to see people supporting businesses that make the right choices in the civil rights arena.

the SUPER PAC is just awesome! Glad to see Billy Jean King back in the news. We owe much to her courage "way back when…"

And the put down of the Regerus study by the medical groups will eventually have more legs than the first two, IMO.

Taiwan to stage 1st same-sex Buddhist wedding:
Two women plan to tie the knot next month in Taiwan's first same-sex Buddhist wedding, as gay and lesbian groups push to make the island the first society in Asia to legalise gay marriage.
Fish Huang and her partner You Ya-ting, both 30, will receive their blessings from Master Shih Chao-hui at a Buddhist monastery in north Taiwan's Taoyuan county on August 11.
Taiwan is one of the most culturally liberal societies in East Asia, and gay and lesbian groups have been urging the government for years to make same-sex marriage legal.
In an event aimed at creating awareness about the issue, about 80 lesbian couples tied the knot in August last year in Taiwan's biggest same-sex wedding party, attracting about 1,000 friends, relatives and curious onlookers.
The island's cabinet in 2003 drafted a controversial bill to legalise same-sex marriages and allow homosexual couples to adopt children.
However, President Ma Ying-jeou has said public consensus was needed before the government can move ahead
