In gay civil rights news today…

May 22nd, 2009

It looks like Illinois may be the next state to legalize civil unions for gay (as well as straight) couples. While it isn’t full marriage rights, it is moving in the right direction. Read the full story at Joe. My. God.

The California Supreme Court will issue it’s ruling on Prop 8 on Tuesday, May 26. Keep your fingers crossed for good news, whatever you think that is. And by whatever you think that is I of course mean if you agree Prop 8 needs to be overturned. If you don’t agree with me go back to reading Ann Coulter’s blog or something.

I couldn’t find any new pics of cute couples on short notice, so here is a completely unrelated photo but fully acceptable photograph of one incredibly hot man.

One thing I’m curious about is reciprocation with these CU’s. For example, if I got hitched here in Jersey, would it be honored by Illinois if I were to move there, or would I need to get re-unionized? In any case, good to hear a state in the fuzzy middle is becoming more progressive.

Unfortunately, thanks to DOMA, states are not required to acknowledge any sort of gay union granted in another state. So that means depending on what kind of union you have, where it was issued, and where you are headed, the legality of that union may or may not be valid.
