NY Court Rules Same-Sex Marriage Ban Unconstitutional

"A New York judge struck down the state's ban on gay marriage as unconstitutional Friday, paving the way for five same-sex couples to wed and opening the door to a contentious battle over the issue in the Empire State."

Another blow to the malicious specter of homophobia. I've always maintained that 'activist judges' ought to be active if something is in violation of the US constitution.

I also want to attend the wedding of my cousin Bruce and his lover Frank, who currently live in Manhattan. They've been together for 25 years or so, which is longer than most marriages that have been blessed by the clergy.

Oh yeah; the State of the Union. Barely worth talking about. Fluff and vinegar, I say.
