From http://Stop8.org: What's the connection between this anti-gay assault in New York and this anti-gay politician in California? We'll take a closer look at both this week, and analyze some new ads airing in Oregon. There's been significant movement around the country on civil unions, and Montana Republicans are backing an bill that could send any gay couple to prison for up to ten years. All that plus an interview with Lavi Soloway, the attorney at the center of efforts to protect bi-national couples from forced deportation.

  • Where is that video on SB-48 that you mentioned you were going to post? I have really been looking forward to it!

  • Huff represents my district. Sigh

  • "And that's how democracy works in Illinois." Priceless.

  • Another very informative video...Great Job

  • Matt, you are absolutely excellent at what you do, and I applaud you. I watch you weekly at JoeMyGod. IMHO, for what it's worth, I would significantly condense Lavi Soloway's segment.

    Thank you so much, and keep up the great work!

  • Amazing how complete strangers can delegate what you do/don't do with your own body. Just, wow.

  • @kd1s I swear, Republicans piss me off so much!

  • @kd1s Isn't that unconstitutional???

  • Luckily, no competent prosecutor will touch that Montana law with a 40-foot pole. Most judges will toss any case out; the only way that law could be enforced would be if SCOTUS reverses itself regarding sodomy laws... which won't happen either.

    These laws just stay on the books as an "F U" to minorities. Like Alabama's anti-interracial marriage law, repealed in 2000. Sometimes some bigot brings outdated laws up (like when an atheist was elected in North Carolina), but it never lasts long.

  • Don't worry - I let all the legislators know I want marriage equality in RI this year. And the SOS VIC page, I had a big part in that when I worked for the SOS.

    And Montana, seriously? I can't wait until that one hits the courts.
