California's Supreme Court, in a decision yesterday, upheld Prop 8 and a ban on same sex marriage. At the same time, a host of states (Iowa, Vermont, and Maine) have legalized gay marriage in recent months. What's next for the LGBT 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.

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.
