I'm still not convinced that the lawsuit seeking to overturn Prop. 8 in CA was the best idea. OTOH, who cares what I think? My rights are not being denied. Anyway, saw a couple of interesting takes on what's been going on so far. Slacktivist argues (pretty convincingly) that what's driving the pro-Prop 8 crowd is an impulse to bully, to throw their majority weight around and deny that there are any such things as rights for minorities. What's that you say? What-stitution? Constitution? Never heard of it.
Meanwhile, Laszlo Thoth looks through the transcripts of Perry v. Schwarzenegger for an answer to the question "how does allowing gays to marry harm straight people?" I must admit that I was somewhat surprised that plaintiff's attorney (that is, the guy arguing in favor of Prop. 8) was unable to answer that question. Seems rather central to their case. You'd think they'd have prepared an answer. I mean, I wasn't expecting a good answer but I was expecting something beyond "Your Honor, my answer is: I don't know."
