It is exhilerating that we could drive a mere 4 hours and get married, even if it would not be recognized in Pennsylvania. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/02/AR2010030203351.html Congratulation to our advocates, allies and resident of Washington, DC on a truly historic day. ps: today is the first day that same sex couples can apply for marriage licenses.
Last night, we had a little gathering at Hoi Polloi Cafe for folks to get to know Joe Hoeffel. We had a chance to interact with Joe live via Skype which was very cool.

I promise I will post about the Mayor's LGBT Advisory Council meeting. I can't promise to be particularly witty. I've been debriefed by no less than five people about this meeting, including someone from the Mayor's team, so I'm already a little over it. However, I spent more than 12 months pushing for this Council […]
Some good news from the PA Supreme Superior Court … In an opinion that at once awarded homosexual parents equal custody rights and criticized a Dauphin County Common Pleas judge for potential gender bias, the state Superior Court overturned a 25-year-old precedent.
