We're not wasting any time capitalizing on the big gay rulings by the Supremes. The ACLU has filed a challenge in federal court to the Pennsylvania ban on gay marriage. There was no problem getting a slew of plaintiffs for the case. A second report is here.
And they are gearing up for a similar challenge in Virginia.
Even though a vote for marriage equality may come soon in Illinois (perhaps this fall) the ACLU and Lambda Legal have asked the state Supremes to hurry the process along by saying the situation in Illinois is the same as in Calif. -- civil unions are the same as marriage except in name. Whether the court will get around to ruling before the legislature gets around to voting is an open question.
The Campaign for Southern Equality is making a big push in its "We Do" campaign in Mississippi. That's likely the most homophobic state. The group's leader Rev. Jasmine Ferrara said, " the solution to the discrimination we face is not to move."
