      Matrimony of Rights: Gay Marriage and

      Posted by ptristam from Pierre Tristam

      There’s hope for the United States yet. A bid by the bigoted right and Catholic wrongs to defeat gay marriage in Massachusetts failed. Perfect timing: the similarities between opponents of gay marriage and opponents of amnesty for undocumented immigrants are not only uncanny. They’re almost indistinguishable.

    • On the Homosexual Second Class Citizenship Amendment

      Posted by j1o2n3a4s5 from Buzzflash

      The Congress failed to pass the so-called “Federal Marriage Amendment” (most accurately named “The Homosexual Second Class Citizenship Amendment”). One interpretation of the Bush/Frist/Hastert strategy on this issue is that they a) need to find anything they can to distract the country from the failed Bush Presidency and the failed agenda of the RRR, and b) they need to feed red-meat to their far-right homophobic base, without which their party would simply not exist in its present form. These are both true observations. But in my view there is another even more central one. The supporters of the Amendment from their legal community know very well that without it, in the absence of a Supreme Court that has totally abandoned the literal reading of the Constitution (as have the False Strict Constructionist right-wingers on the Court), “gay marriage” will someday have to become the law of the land. This, for both religious and political reasons they are totally opposed to.
