Richard Kim of The Nation, Joel Silberman, Jewelle Gomez of the Horizon Foundation, and New York Assemblyman Daniel O’Donnell discuss the California ruling and the gay rights movement.

I think the thing to do is buy a special election. They are much cheaper to mount than a general, you can get one for about 5-10 million, and if you lose you can immediately buy another. I gotta believe the gay community in California can raise 5-10 million every 6 months or so to get this done.
What SHOULD be next is that we close this country down.
But we want to be “liked” too much to be able to do that.

Hey, if there’s a Gritster in the house, would you please update your audio podcast feed? I like downloading audio-only so I can listen while attending to other life duties. The audio feed hasn’t been updated since April. Thanks.
