The marriage equality drumbeat has rumbled on with news that several states will be attempting to re-examine their state constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage and/or civil unions. Surprisingly, this hasn't received as much attention as I assumed it would in the LGBT blogosphere.

It’s a small step. But a path breaking step for Indiana.
On October 21, 2009, Bloomington City Council voted 7-0 to approve Ordinance 09-18 (Responsible Bidder Ordinance).
The ordinance gives the City more control and better tools for awarding large contracts (worth $150,000 or more) to [...]

Last night's loss in Maine for marriage equality was very disappointing, losing by about 5 percentage points, but the ENDA-like non-discrimination ordinance won in Kalamazoo by an amazing 30 percentage points. The Kalamazoo ordinance covers housing and public accommodations, in addition to the workplace, so its win indicates [...]
Tonight is a big night for LGBT rights and issues- Marriage Equality in Maine, Relationship Recognition in Washington State, and a Human Rights Ordinance in Kalamazoo. Add that to the openly gay candidates (Annise Parker in Houston) and races that effect our movement (the New Jersey [...]
On Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009- less than a week away- there will be critical votes on on LGBT equality in three states: Washington State, Maine, and Michigan. With so much attention devoted to other issues in the political realm, bloggers have banded together with the Courage Campaign to [...]
"Everybody is supposed to be equal in this country. By voting NO on question 1, I'm casting a vote for equality and a vote for my son."
"Americans have shown the world again and again that we can figure out how to take all kinds of different people and live together'" [...]
Unlike the Indiana Daily Student’s editorial board (October 16), I am very disappointed in Baron Hill for voting to criminalize thought by supporting the fraudulent “hate crimes” bill that was dishonestly attached to a defense spending authorization. Baron Hill’s vote makes it clear that if you have beliefs that [...]
