On this week’s edition of Bill Moyers Journal, Ted Olson and David Boies, the conservative and liberal duo who teamed up and just concluded their challenge to Prop 8 in the first federal marriage equality case, discuss why they took the case, and why marriage equality is so important. Unfortunately, PBS does not offer embedding [...]

Now That Corporations Are People, Can They Marry Each Other? What If They’re Gay?
Tales of the absurdity that is America.


You cannot help but feel amused/ perplexed/ incredulous/ angered/ frustrated/ ready-to-pack-your-bags-and-move-to-another-country by events the past week in America.

The Olson/Boies team has been sharing a history of how the government in America has actively worked to repress homosexuals. Today, according to the National Center for Lesbian Rights, who has been live-tweeting the trial, they have been showing and/or using a 1950′s California film, “Boys Beware,” as evidence.

Thumbnail image for Today’s Prop 8 Trial: Ted Olson’s Opening Remarks

Ted Olson, the Conservative attorney who, along with Democrat David Boies, are spearheading the battle to overturn Proposition 8, spoke today in federal court. Here are his opening remarks. It’s long (1646 words.) It’s worth it. I’ve taken the liberty of marking in bold the parts I thought were especially compelling. Here you go: This [...]
