I think it's terrific. I think (Feingold) has given one more indication that as people think this through, they realize, as he said, that it's time to end this discrimination.

Instead, they're channeling their support to groups like 4-H Clubs, Girl Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs and other youth programs that do not discriminate.

When it comes to special use of forts and military bases and public parks, where they're getting terms nobody else gets, that has to stop.

We've seen a steady improvement in the number of people who support marriage equality for same-sex couples.

The right wing would love nothing more than for us to spend all of our airtime discussing distractions such as polygamy, bestiality and other from their point of view doomsday scenarios rather than engage the public about committed same-sex couples being discriminated against.

The Constitution was never amended to take away rights from a group of Americans.

They had a tremendous impact. Not just because they underscore that this is a civil rights question, but they're making it clear this is a question of fairness that affects real families, including Latinos and African Americans many of whom are the most vulnerable when discriminatorily excluded from marriage.

Americans will see that when lesbians and gay men are given access to most of the rights and obligations of civil marriage, the sky will not fall and the institution of marriage will be even stronger.

Most Americans assume they can get married anywhere they choose without discriminatory or unfair barriers. Unfortunately gay couples still do not have that basic fair treatment.

This is exactly what the right wing is afraid of. People have had a year of legal marriage in Massachusetts to see how ending marriage discrimination helps gay and lesbian families and hurts no one.

Judicial restraint is a buzzword just like activist judge. Everybody's in favor of judicial restraint, but what does it mean If it means not acting as a check against majoritarian excesses or upholding constitutional rights against improper government action, then restraint is not something admirable.
