The AP's Ray Henry does an update on the disarray brought about by ... {insert culprit - you know who they are}
Hey, look, lipservice Burkeans, incremental rights:
Advocates in Rhode Island have introduced bills to legalize gay marriage every year since 1997, but they've gone nowhere. So this year, in addition to filing marriage legislation, they hope to have some success with six new bills that focus on incremental rights rather than the label of marriage.
I wonder if AS will say that nice-guy Evan had to say this or he would risk losing his job (I mean, that's what he said about HRC and legislating themselves out of a job, etc. Hey, you can say anything you want in blogospherical land and still disparage Susan Sontag ...):
Evan Wolfson, a gay-rights lawyer who heads the national advocacy group Freedom to Marry, says anything short of marriage relegates gays and lesbians to second-class status. He said a two-pronged approach might be temporarily appropriate in some places, but he questioned whether advocates in Rhode Island and Washington pushed hard enough before switching tactics.
