G! Update: California Gay Marriage, Brazil Pride
Posted on May 28, 2008
- Gay marriage is coming to California soon: “Barring a stay of a historic California Supreme Court ruling, same-sex couples will be able to wed in the state beginning June 17, according to a state directive issued Wednesday.”
- A poll says majority of Californians support gay marriage: “The results mark the first time in over three decades of polling that more California voters have approved of extending marriage to gay couples than have disapproved, said Field Poll director Mark DiCamillo. The survey of 1,052 registered voters was conducted over the phone.”
- Brazil had a huge turn out for gay pride: “Organizers said about 5 million people attended the 12th annual Sao Paulo Gay Pride Parade, traditionally one of the world’s biggest.”

P! Update: Bush Tears, McCain Flip Flop, Gay Marriage
Posted on May 16, 2008
- Dan Froomkin writes, “Bush has cried many times during his presidency — when he’s met with the families of dead soldiers, after 9/11, at disaster scenes. But this was different. In this case, it seems his tears were for himself.” (We’re crying too, Mr. President.) Think Progress has the story, with video.
- The Huffington Post nails John McCain’s latest flip flop, with exclusive video: ‘McCain Was For Talking To Hamas Before He Was Against It.’
- Pam’s House Blend has compiled an extensive list of outraged reactions to the California Supreme Court’s ruling on gay marriage.
- From Talking Points Memo: McCain Blasts Obama As Unfit To Defend America: ‘On a conference call with conservative bloggers this afternoon, John McCain launched what may be his most direct attack yet on Barack Obama’s national security credentials, saying flat out that Obama is incapable of protecting America and lacks the necessary traits to keep it secure from foreign threats.’ (Pardon my French, but this is absolute horseshit. McCain should be ashamed.)
