yeah and it wasn't that great way for people to get out and stand by the
supreme court and
show their support for a really like
brings out the blossoming
community in one of
lot of fun signs mix of really great
yeah did you do israeli demonstrating i did not demonstrating its ago
unfortunately but i did enjoy is seeing all of the signs get posted up on the
internet
and uh...
seems like a fun place again
yet reloaded it is just astonishing to me that ten years ago in two thousand
three the supreme court struck down
the last anti sodomy rules in country
in lawrence vs texas can you imagine that that ten years ago
only ten years ago it was literally illegal
to commit the act
of homosexual sex
or at in some cases and now here we are
thirteen states have legalized gay marriage in in the supreme court
is perhaps on the verge of overall of of outlawing
the defense of of marriage act which prevents same sex marriages for being
recognized the federal level
that is some would say extremely rapid
curve a progress but it took many many decades of
of pain and suffering in silence i was a real we all
or we should remember that
back in the eighties when aids was first going around
people that really care because it was gay people dot and and you know that gay
lives were cheaper
and that's something that i think
we need to remember all mean we look at how how rapidly this has moved along
yeah there's changing public opinion has been amazing over the last intended
fifteen years and you see
just the two months criss-crossing senate unit ten years ago as fifty eight
percent oppose amounts in a fifty eight percent in favor
new states legalizing and left and right and i think the other day wrestle in the
said that whenever i went on the ballot it didn't
house which is
obviously incorrect is a passing three states this year by popular referendum
so that's been
it's an amazing to see it and it i think it's just a sec common-sense issue it's
so hard for people to make that
judgment
for very long against people loving each other and whining such a of basic
you know senate he called decency rules
deserve question about it and of course but there were two cases that the
supreme court disgust
one case
untitled hollingsworth versus parry dealt with the constitutionality of
proposition eight
along the books in california outlawing same-sex marriage which was passed by
popular friend them
several years ago
of course the uh... these
government the governor and the attorney general in california so that they do
not believe that law
is in force and they do not recognize any more
and of course an additional case was windsor versus the united states
youth windsor an eighty three-year-old widow who was married to another woman
and what her wife passed away
she had to pay three hundred sixty three thousand dollars in back taxes because
of course according a defense of marriage act
her marriage i guess was legal the state level
would not be lee recognize legally at the federal level
we've got a great show ahead

course

dealing with that we're gonna shameful or in the legal the supreme court
