Don't let the Obama's defense of DOMA get you down this Pride season. City Attorney Dennis Herrera just filed a brief in federal court yesterday stating the obvious: Proposition 8 has no constitutionally legitimate purpose. Which is to say, SF has demanded a federal judge to overturn California's unfortunate ban on gay marriage. This latest war tactic against bigotry and slack-jawed mentality "uses a different tactic and argues that Proposition 8 violated the federal constitutional guarantees of due process and equal treatment," according to SFGate. In other Prop 8 news, a census study of gay married couples found striking similarities to husband-and-wife couples. (Pluming fixtures aside, of course.) Also, the number of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people killed in because of their sexuality are at their highest since 1999.

He made a bold statement by arguing that Prop 8 was fueled by hatred of gays and lesbians. A lot of political figures who've spoken out against it have fallen short of saying it that bluntly, choosing rather to emphasize the importance of equal protection. I think he really hit the nail on the head by saying flat-out that we it was the product of moral disapproval.
In other news about Pride, who else has noticed the sudden influx of out-of-town gay folks?
