We will have a civil wedding ceremony in DC next month (and one of us also happens to be a professional corporate pilot). We are appalled–but, sadly, not surprised–at this attempt by these Republicans and relieved that it didn’t go anywhere…for now. We can only hope the reason this amendment wasn’t offered was because of a high likelihood that even a referendum would fail at the present time. We have our fingers crossed that the Republicans don’t pull any stunts like this before our ceremony next month. There is some worry that, once the health bill is passed, the Republicans, desperate for new targets, will focus on destroying this new right.

I think that some degree of thanks for this should be extended to Messrs. McDonnell and Cuccinelli of Virginia. They have certainly helped to set a tone in much of the country on the general topic of gay rights. Who knew we would have the thesis author and his chief lawyer to credit with putting the anti-equality side on the defensive? They should be considered for some sort of gala-event recognition.
