The Fight for Love

"The California Supreme Court did not simply rule that we had a right to marry, they ruled that any discrimination in state law based on sexual orientation will be subjected to withering scrutiny by the Courts of this state."
— Kate Kendell

Monday night my bride and a friend and I went to a community meeting on marriage equality at the Billy DeFrank LGBT Center in San Jose. The always-inspiring Kate Kendell of the National Center for Lesbian Rights was the guest speaker who laid it all out for us: how groundbreaking the CA Supreme Court ruling really was (see quote) and what it will take to beat the same-sex marriage ban on the November ballot in CA. We signed up to help with the campaign against this state constitutional amendment. I signed up for e-groups, of course.


So I was playing with Jonathan Feinberg's very cool Wordle, which generated this image from my tag cloud on delicious. Right now marriage and equality are almost impossible to find in the cloud. That will be changing, so it might be interesting to watch over time. Images created by the Wordle.net web application are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States License.
