Over and over I read things from the right-wing that really just bother me and seem to make no sense. Here’s what I came across today:

“Equality California and its allies are desperate to evade democracy. First, they used the courts to erase the votes of nearly 5 million Californians who voted to protect marriage. Now, they are trying to silence the people’s voice forever,” said ADF Senior Counsel Glen Lavy. “This is just another attempt to force a radical political agenda upon the people of California. The opponents of marriage are willing to use any means necessary to impose their will.” (source)

We’re trying to “silence the people’s voice forever”? What a bunch of crap. That’s what they’ve been trying to do to us for years. Their website even purports to “protect and preserve religious liberty, the sanctity of life, marriage, and the family.” If that were so then they would be on our side! To me, preserving religious liberty/freedom would mean that I could freely practice a religion of my choice, not be trapped into theirs…

Then, on the other hand, I found an article reporting that the mayor of Pittsburg signed a “partnership registry” into law on the day of their pride celebration. It might not be marriage but it’s a big step in that direction for them:

In other news, a small victory for Israel’s LGBT people: Israel Court Refuses To Ban Gay Pride

Note: The last two news items were part of 365gay.com until they redesigned their site – the links no longer work and I was unable to find the original articles there.
