1. I hope that this overturning of Proposition 8 will stand, but those delusional forces aren't going to stop until they have no means left to reinstate it. The struggle for human rights and human dignity is ongoing and ceaseless, and we have to be prepared to keep on fighting.
2. It's nice to see Ben unshaved. Thanks.

I think that the NH Legislature may take a step back in light of this ruling because Perry v. Brown would be invoked as this is the same kind of situation. I am glad it was at one end narrow to CA but still broad enough to be applied to any other marriage equality case

Diet & Fitness:
By Jorge Cruise / January 26, 2012
Not all fat is bad for you. Good fats found in foods such as fatty fish, nuts and flaxseeds are essential to your health and ability to lose weight. But when it comes to bad fats, such as saturated fat, it's important to understand what types of food they hide in, so you can avoid them. High amounts of saturated fats are found in animal products such as beef, milk, cheese, lunch meat, butter and bacon. You can avoid these fats - and continue to eat animal products - with these adjustments to your diet:
1. Choose lower-fat options.
These include white-meat chicken and turkey (without the skin) and reduced-fat dairy products. If you eat a lot of red meat, look for the lowest-fat options, such as ground round or sirloin, sirloin steaks, reduced-fat lunch meat, reduced-fat bacon and ham. I also recommend soy versions of traditional meat - they taste great and are much lower in fat.
2. Watch your portion sizes.
An appropriate serving of meat is 3-5 ounces - not the 12-ounce prime rib found on restaurant menus. Choose a 3-ounce serving if you weigh less than 150 pounds or a 5-ounce serving if you weigh more than 150 pounds. This equates to roughly the size of one or two decks of cards.Take Action:
political donations, corruption, greed, bribery, hacking!

Ben GodfreYou Decide!Denver, Colorado - Adult-star at Bar Standard Dec 10, 2011Stoked?CHAOS at BeatBox - San Francisco; January 28, 2012Calif. gay-marriage ban unconstitutional [H8 Overturned]February 7, 2012 / CBS NEWS
SAN FRANCISCO - A federal appeals court on Tuesday declared California's same-sex marriage ban to be unconstitutional, putting the bitterly contested, voter-approved law on track for a likely appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that a lower court judge correctly interpreted the U.S. Constitution and Supreme Court precedents when he declared in 2010 that Proposition 8 -- a response to an earlier state court decision that legalized gay marriage -- was a violation of the civil rights of gays and lesbians.
However, the appeals court said gay marriages cannot resume in the state until the deadline passes for Proposition 8 sponsors to appeal to a larger panel of the 9th Circuit. If such an appeal is filed, gay marriages will remain on hold until it's resolved.
"Although the Constitution permits communities to enact most laws they believe to be desirable, it requires that there be at least a legitimate reason for the passage of a law that treats different classes of people differently. There was no such reason that Proposition 8 could have been enacted," the ruling states.
The Supreme Court would be the only place to resolve this legal battle, CBS News senior legal analyst Andrew Cohen said.
"On the merits, you have this conflict still between and among the judges over how far a state can go with limiting same-sex marriage," said Cohen. "Two judges said you can't go very far, and one judge said that you could, and I think that's an issue, a conflict, that's only going to get resolved in Washington at the Supreme Court."
Backers of Proposition 8 said they would ask the Supreme Court to overturn the 9th Circuit ruling.
"No court should presume to redefine marriage. No court should undercut the democratic process by taking the power to preserve marriage out of the hands of the people," said Brian Raum, senior counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal aid group based in Arizona that helped defend Proposition 8.
"We are not surprised that this Hollywood-orchestrated attack on marriage -- tried in San Francisco -- turned out this way. But we are confident that the expressed will of the American people in favor of marriage will be upheld at the Supreme Court," he said.
American Foundation for Equal Rights President Chad Griffin, who formed the group along with director Rob Reiner to wage the court fight against Proposition 8, called the panel's ruling "a historic victory."
"The message it sends to young LGBT people, not only here in California but across the country, (is) that you can't strip away a fundamental right, and gay marriage is a fundamental right that no one can strip away," Griffin said. "Now that Proposition 8 has been declared unconstitutional, the people of California will very soon be able to once again realize their freedom to marry."
More than 50 people who gathered outside the federal courthouse in downtown San Francisco greeted the ruling with cheers. They held signs and waved rainbow flags.
"Today's ruling is a victory for fairness, a victory for equality and a victory for justice," said California Attorney General Kamala Harris.
People also took to Twitter to react to the ruling.Bulletin:Washington State Senate approves gay marriage.Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."....Jake
