As frustrating as it is that we need to fight this battle at all--that it's even a battle--I look at the progress made between 1990 and 2008, and the progress made between 2008 and now, and I feel like things are looking (and speeding) up. As my mom said last night, "The arguments are getting more and more tired, and the people making them are looking more and more ridiculous."
From The Advocate's report:
Adam Lambert, towering over everyone on the red carpet (except for the bronze trenchcoat-clad Lynch), said he hoped the Perry case would still eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court. “People talk about protecting the ‘sanctity’ of marriage. Honestly, how about we protect the sanctity of our Constitution?”
I've been having some flail over the Golden Globes, too:
add in the hospital visitation rights issue, and Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and yeah.
I feel like 2011 is going to be a good year.
