Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
The dead rising from the grave!
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

I know it's a long legal road ahead. And it may end up not going our way (for the time being).
But today, we celebrate.
Thank God I didn't put mascara on today. I'm losing my SH*T at work right now.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

"Plaintiffs have demonstrated by overwhelming evidence that Proposition 8 violates their due process and equal protection rights and that they will continue to suffer these constitutional violations until state officials cease enforcement of Proposition 8. California is able to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, as it has already issued 18,000 marriage licenses to same-sex couples and has not suffered any demonstrated harm as a result,see FF 64-66; moreover, California officials have chosen not to defend Proposition 8 in these proceedings.
Because Proposition 8 is unconstitutional under both the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses, the court orders entry of judgment permanently enjoining its enforcement; prohibiting the official defendants from applying or enforcing Proposition 8 and directing the official defendants that all persons under their control or supervision shall not apply or enforce Proposition 8. The clerk is DIRECTED to enter judgment without bond in favor of plaintiffs and plaintiff-intervenors and against defendants and defendant-intervenors pursuant to FRCP 58."

Posted: 8/4/10 at 5:16pmI know the other side was already planning to appeal, and that there will be a long road ahead before it gets to the Supreme Court, but I'm extremely emotional right now. I'm trying to hold it together until after work...

Been listening to my NPR station

It appears that getting a stay from the 9th Circuit Court is a little tougher than I thought. Still do-able.
The are still discussing the issue with Pat Morrison. Worth a listen to.

Posted: 8/4/10 at 5:28pmWhat are the chances of them appealing and winning? This can't keep going back and forth. This needs to stay as it is. Oh, and has anyone thought about all that Mormon money spent in 2008? IMO,that's the best part!

I got the feeling from listening to go-to law expert Erwin Chemerinsky that overturning it is indeed possible, but that it will be a lot harder if a stay is not issued.
The longer gay and lesbian people are allowed to marry, the harder it will be to overturn it.

Posted: 8/4/10 at 5:35pmThe Court used the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses. It is 138 pages based on testimony and facts with a correct conclusion. The Supreme Court will likely make this a state's rights case and ultimately reverse.

that same-sex couples are inferior to opposite-sex couples

So is Human Rights Campaign going to take credit for this? Or GLAAD??
Maybe instead we can donate to Lamda Legal?

The "open-question" at present is if there is no stay issued by Friday... can same-sex marriage start happening again?
