Congratulations to gay people!
However, I was watching BBC News today and they were interviewing an expert who said gay people didn't get as much as they wanted.

He speaks of the courts ruling yesterday that the voting rights act be stricken down. After all the attempts to suppress minority votes in the last presidential election it came as a surprise. We'll just have to wait and see if the south can truly function non-racially with being mandated by the government.

Or not, the only thing that was struck down is that 9 states dont have to get aproval from the federal government to change their state laws.  If those states do pass laws that are restrictive, then the laws can be disputed just like in any other state that passes laws that may not be constitutional.  You cant hold these 9 states responsible for racist actions into the infinite future, at some point the training wheels must come off.

Prop 8 has already been ruled on twice that it violates the US Constition.    It has been overturned twice, but held up by the proponets and sponsors of Prop 8.

With today's ruling, it would go back to the lower court ruling, and be invalid.  Probaly at least 30 days before same sex couples get marrige licenses again though.

People pining for rights never get the full monty all in one go.

I know right!?

And Justice Antonin Scalia is throwing a huge hissy fit today.

Great post! But after the last election I won't put so much trust into those happenings.

I don't get Scalia. The guy is so obviously biased and prejudice that I'm surprised he is still a "justice".

well i dont agree with it, i dont really care either way. there are bigger issues than who screws who. alsop i think everyone should be protected from marriage, its not all that. :)

You're surprised that prejudiced people get to be in positions of power? It almost seems the norm.
