Struggling with marriage equality and IML

[noelbear]

Just got back from IML to hear the (unsurprising) decision of the Cali Supreme Court denying equal marrige rights to LGBT's. Maybe it's just the timing, but the two events seem inter-related in my mind. The question I'm struggling with is, right or wrong, how much does an event like IML contribute to our being denied equal rights under the law

Thanks for all the insights guys. as usual the LJ community provides excellent food for thought (along with the seemingly mandatory lone flame).

Favorite quote:

"being open minded....means you have to consider your reaction to everything"

Well at least I'm doing that, right?

Thanks for sharing this Noel. I've wrestled with that a bit myself. Even right next door to my apartment there is a bar that has a pretty graphic banner for their lesbian bar night. And I think to myself, kids walk right by this each day
