Yes, I'm interested. When's the first meeting? Where?


(I don't think we need a separate thread, but that's up to you.)

Yep. Americans got used to miscegenation didn't they? Well, maybe not all Americans...

It may also another step in the legalization of federal recognition, via the U.S. Constitution's "Fair Faith and Credit" clause (and the unconstitutionality of DOMA).

I only talked to Tom Watson for a few minutes about this -- all he said is Tuesday nights so far, and there may be another meeting Wednesdays. Tom and his partner live off of Mulholland, but I'm not sure where the meetings are. I'll email info@lovehonorcherish.org and if I don't hear back by tomorrow I'll give Tom a call at work.

I heard back from Andrew (Tom's partner) and he's putting me on the email list. Please email that address above and he'll do the same for you

Ok, I just emailed them. Hope to hear back, and that this pans out as something worthwhile to stop the spread of evil hated and instead spread the joy and love of joy and love.

But since it's far too intertwined in our culture to separate it out now, then it definitely should be open to anyone and everyone.

Well this is spectacularly unusual and worthy of celebration in and of itself. GD, we completely agree on this.

That is my position to a T.

Cool, lets see if this works out.

Leave it to the California Kearns to find a way to exclude gay marriage without breaking the law.
