Perry v. Schwarzenegger ruling tomorrow

Timothy Kincaid

August 3rd, 2010

The United States District Court for the Northern District of California has announced that Chief Justice Walker Vaughn’s decision on Perry v. Schwarzenegger – the federal case seeking to overturn Proposition 8 – will be available tomorrow. We will post the decision once we have it.

UPDATE: The decision is expected to become available between 1 and 3pm PDT.

UPDATE TWO: The supporters of Proposition 8 have already filed a request for stay of judgment pending appeal. In other words, if the court rules that Proposition 8 is a violation of the US Constitution, the supporters want for there to be no new same-sex marriages until they can appeal the decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and a decision is made by that court.

Too bad the trial ended too early to stretch this until after the election; if his ruling is favorable, it could make the Federal Marriage Amendment an election issue again. Of course, if he upholds P8, well, there’s no good time for that.

The “listserv” system requires a name at the end of the command, but the court does not require or use this information, so you still must include the word anonymous at the end of the command, or it will fail

I can only imagine what affect this will have on the confirmation of Elena Kagan. You can bet that if the court rules tomorrow that Prop 8 was unconstitutional, the conservatives will work overtime to thwart her confirmation in the last hours before the Senate votes on Thursday.

@hyhybt and Joe

Unless same-sex marriage were passed at the end of time, there would always be another election coming up or another piece of legislation or another administration nomination. And any time the Democrats lose, it will still be because the uppity gays don’t know their place and keep thinking that we deserve equal rights.

I think that’s the aim of the haters.

Kagan is on record as saying she thinks there is no Constitutional right to same sex marriage, not that she couldn’t change her mind.

What Are Little Boys Made Of?

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.

Slouching Towards Kampala: Uganda’s Deadly Embrace of Hate

When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.

Paul Cameron’s World

In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
