Slow Saturday Special: Wedding Anniversary

I'm going to forget it:

The fight for marriage equality
Celebrating 10 years of gay marriage in Mass.
As gay marriage turns 10, enough credit to go around
Same-sex marriage sure to return to Supreme Court 

I will be posting another appeal soon.

"Protests set for a Miss. law opponents assert is antigay" by Emily Wagster Pettus | Associated Press   May 10, 2014

JACKSON, Miss. — At a leafy college campus in north Mississippi and an upscale dinner club in New York, groups are protesting a Mississippi law that opponents say could sanction discrimination against gays and lesbians....

One protest is expected Saturday when the governor speaks at the University of Mississippi’s graduation in Oxford. Organizer Kevin Cozart said he has distributed more than 350 lapel stickers with a rainbow-striped map of Mississippi and a quote from the university creed: ‘‘I believe in respect for the dignity of each person.’’

Cozart is a graduate student and former adviser to UM Pride Network, a group that supports lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students....

A second protest is June 13, when chefs from Mississippi and other places will participate in the Big Gay Mississippi Welcome Table at City Grit, a private dinner club in New York.

"Charles Cooper, a former top official in the Justice Department during the Reagan administration and onetime ‘‘Republican lawyer of the year,’’ joins a list of prominent Republicans — former vice president Dick Cheney and Senator Rob Portman of Ohio among them — with children whose interests are at odds with party orthodoxy on gay marriage."
