Civil unions head to the Senate in Colorado, but nobody seems to be quite sure who’s going to sponsor the bill once it reaches the House.

Matt Baume Interviews Head of “Stop the Deportations”

Thursday, April 5th, 2012

I just posted an quick interview with Lavi Soloway, who runs the LGBT immigration-rights group “Stop the Deportations.” Lavi was present for the DOMA hearings yesterday, and he describes the scene in the court and some of the most important moments from the arguments.

Monday, March 12th, 2012

Sorry we missed an episode last week — we were a little busy livestreaming Brad Pitt and George Clooney to the entire world. Meanwhile, there’s been a ton of new polling data from around the country, and it’s all encouraging.

And more bad news for NOM: they’re under investigation by the Minnesota Elections Board, and the US Supreme Court has refused to play along with their attempts to hide donors. And after a brief flurry of activity, efforts to overturn a marriage ban in Ohio appear to have stalled out.
