I take the case apart, and look more deeply at the tort aspects, here:
Already the comments are coming in over at 365gay.com. I didn’t expect this to be an easy one….
In today’s 365gay.com column, I look at the new relationship statuses that Facebook allows, and wonder about the divide between our legal, social, and political selves.
“It’s complicated.”
In today’s article over at 365gay.com, I discuss the recent suicides caused by bullying. I have a few suggestions, and also share my own story — which was harder to do than I thought it would be.
Very likely. In an “extra” piece just published over at 365gay, I analyze and comment on a ruling Wednesday by the Florida appellate court that struck down the state’s absurd ban on adoption by gay and lesbian parents. I even offer a brief comment on my personal experience with the adoption bureaucracy in Philly.
Now word comes in that the state is unlikely to appeal. If it doesn’t this is over unless another state appellate court some day comes to a contrary conclusion — not likely. And in any event, the adoptive parents in this case can now know the peace they deserve.
After this week’s DADT debacle in DC, I needed a happy ending.
In this week’s column over at 365gay.com, I have a serious mad going on over a question asked at a dinner party: “Which would you rather have, gay rights or health care?”
I mean, really.
This is the most recent 365gay.com column. It ran as scheduled, but under the wrong by-line and apparently not on the front page. (That’s what happens when the Ed in Chief is away. The image they picked for the “closet” isn’t even, er, a closet.) But I really enjoyed writing this one; it’s much more personal than most.
I’m back from vacation and will start to rev up the blog again — as soon as I can actually move my muscles for more than a few minutes at a time. Yesterday’s tubing expedition down the Delaware River almost finished me off….
Today’s column over at 365gay.com has elicited a mountain of response. No surprise there — it’s about how far to accommodate religion in anti-discrimination laws (including the marriage equality laws and public accommodation statutes). People are never shy about expressing opinions; the tougher thing is to maintain civility.
In today’s column over at 365gay.com (not gay on Feb. 29?), I argue that the government needs to appeal the decision by a Massachusetts federal district judge that ruled section 3 of DOMA unconstitutional.
I even think that the case might come out favorably even when it reaches the Supreme Court.
Today’s column over at 365gay.com discusses this week’s Supreme Court ruling in Christian Legal Services v. Martinez, where the Court took a narrow path to its holding that Hastings Law School’s “all comers” policy was constitutional. Under that policy, only those student organizations that allow any student to become a member, regardless of belief or conduct (which the Court equated), were eligible for funding and other accommodations.
As the column and the many thoughtful comments I’ve received demonstrate, the case raises more questions than it answers.
In today’s 365gay column, I answer a few of the questions that have come in since I started this weekly gig:
