GLBT

The California Supreme Court has upheld Prop 8, but did not dissolve the 18,000 marriages that took place between same sex couples last year in the state. The decision was expected, but is still disheartening.

Dear Friends:

First and foremost, a tip of the hat to NChands, who posted on this story earlier tonight on the DailyKos, and who has graciously allowed me to recount the report here at BlueNC.

For the past 4 years, I have been watching the political landscape for the Presidential campaign develop.

In my work, I also get to talk to a lot of politicos and hear their opinions. Usually, I'd rather discuss string theorey or metaphysics than politics, but today I feel compelled to share my opinion on Barack Obama.

Interesting.

If you were wondering where Bush would get his extra troops, General John M. Shalikashvili (ret.), chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1993 to 1997, says it may be time to allow gay and lesbian soldiers in the US Military.

To me, what we have here isn't inclusion as much as a way to get extra bodies - sacrificial ones - on the front lines. History repeats itself.

I fear Pastor Martin Niemöller's words will be forgotten.
