I wrote yesterday of the Texas representative who filed a bill that would prevent the federal gov't from recognizing same-sex marriages in states that ban such marriages. Timothy Kincaid of Box Turtle Bulletin doesn't think the House will take it up:
While the good ol’ boys at the local Elks Lodge may all think his proposal is a fine idea, the Republican Party leadership will bury this dog. They know that the ship has sailed and that equality is the future and they want nothing more than to have the issue behind them. Preferable before 2016 so they can blame President Obama and the Supreme Court and move on to other issues.
Thousands of same-sex marriage supporters filled the Capitol in Salt Lake City. They were there to protest the governor's appeal of the marriage equality decision and to give him 58,000 signatures asking him not to waste $2 million on the appeal. Their slogan is "Let it Stand." Many of the protesters were, of course, same-sex couples who were married in the last few weeks. Here are some pictures of the protest.
