The Gay Thread - Page 65

I recall reading that there was a deadline to file an appeal in Prop 8 and I thought it was on 9-11. Though Saturday is a bizarre day to have a court deadline.

Last I heard the state said the Governator and Brown didn't have to defend it and some of the bigots who were supporting it wanted to defend it in the "states interests". Did anything ever come of that?

There has already been an appeal filed (the notice of appeal was filed almost immediately after Walker's decision went down). There are briefing deadlines set (though I doubt that one of the due dates was a Saturday, since the courts are closed on the weekends).

Even if the bigots brief the matter, the court of appeals could rule that they do not have standing, and more or less end the lawsuit if nobody else intervenes.

Hahaha, the H8ers actually filed a suit in state court to FORCE the attorney general (Jerry Brown) to file an appeal. Um, no, he has wide discretion and the state court threw the case out. The H8ers then filed an emergency appeal of that to the state supreme court, and they too told them to take a hike.

Now the H8ers are trying to pressure the lt. governor to file an appeal while he has temporary governor authority, as the governator is currently in China. Heheh, the last time that happened was in the 70's or 80's when, teehee, Jerry Brown was governor. The then-lt. gov. signed some controversial law - but Brown simply reversed the action when he returned to the state - - so this is another act of desperation that's going nowhere.

Technically, the H8ers don't have legal standing on their own to appeal the federal district ruling of Judge Walker. They are not harmed in any way by the ruling, and they are not tasked with implementing it. Nonetheless, it's a political hot potato of unreasonable proportions -so I wouldn't be surprised if the Ninth Circuit bends the law a little bit and decides to hear the appeal.

Stay tuned ... in gay speak, it's going to be a bumpy year.

More or Less is a BBC Radio series that examines statistics used in our daily discourse.

The most recent show leads off with a discussion on attempts to quantify the percentage of the population that is gay and issues one runs into doing so.

Many interesting (to me anyway) points are raised along the way and I thought it might be interesting to some.

Yesterday, one of my customers mentioned Gay Days at Disneyland this weekend. Who knew? So, anyone going? I saw tweets from Mark and Mindy from the park, so I know they're representing the Gays of the LoT. Anyone else?

Since getting back from WDW on Monday, this is my first day to rest, and Joe and BJ have no plans to go to the park. What has become of us?

I'm not ready to be an eldergay!
