I had not heard that, DR JoseSPiano - thank you!  :D

Although we are still waiting on the outcome of the challenge to Prop 8. California could still rule that our marriage is or will be rendered invalid.   What a legal mess.         :P

And if the Administration in Washington has its way, things could get better:

Whitehouse Agenda

Quote
Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples: President Obama supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples. Obama also believes we need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally-recognized unions. These rights and benefits include the right to assist a loved one in times of emergency, the right to equal health insurance and other employment benefits, and property rights.

Yes!  And what that appeared on http://www.whitehouse.gov/ at 12:01pm this past Tuesday, I know that that was cause for yet more joyful tears that afternoon.

Current court rulings say that Prop 8 does not invalidate any previous same-sex marriages and the state intends to still recognize them

Yeah - and hard work for me!

My CA friend who was President of Log Cabin-LA, and then Chairman of Log Cabin-Ca has just been elected Chairman of Log Cabin-National. (I have been a ghost writer and strategist of his for years.) I have proposed the Log Cabin focus all its National efforts on helping Obama get his agenda passed.

Summary of the President's Gay Rights Agenda:

Hate-Crimes (TG inclusive or not)

ENDA (TG inclusive or not)

Defense of Marriage Act - repeal

Civil Unions - extension of Federal recognition and same rights extended to married couples

DADT - repeal (no mention of repeal of UCMJ article criminalizing sodomy)

Adoption rights - expand for gay individuals and couples (Arguably should be left to the states)

AIDS prevention
   Age appropriate education, including contraception
   Condom distribution in prisons
   Condom distribution by Public Health Services
   Lift ban on needle-exchange programs

I am proposing a questionnaire for all Republican Senators to get a sounding on where they might stand on these issues. Obama can probably push bills through the House without Republican help, but he will likely need a few Republican votes in the Senate.

Instead of fighting the Administration on collateral issues (like Gay Marriage) I believe we should focus on joining the Administration in moving their announced agenda forward.  I do have some opposition from those who rather sit on the back-bench and fault the administration for not moving fast enough or far enough.

Thank you, DR dB.  And...

I'll believe it when I see the final court order!    :)

The Prop 8 folks are not seeking to invalidate your CA marriage in NY, only in CA:

MERCURY NEWS

Quote

...
An estimated 18,000 same-sex couples married in California after the Supreme Court's ruling in May that struck down existing legal bans. Brown has said that Proposition 8 is not retroactive to
those couples, and he reiterated that statement Friday, saying the marriages of same-sex couples who wed between June 16 and Election Day should remain valid in California, regardless of whether Proposition 8 is upheld.

Proposition 8 supporters acknowledge those marriages were legal before Election Day, and say they are not trying to "nullify" them now. They argue that the plain language of Proposition 8 — "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." — means those marriages can no longer be recognized in California, although they would still be valid in other states where same-sex marriage is legal or recognized.

So, since there is no issue of revoking your marriage, I suspect you'll see no court order on the subject.

I liked most of what I rewrote yesterday, and did some additional futzing, then wrote three pages, which is all I'll probably do unless I do a couple more when I get back from the long work session.

HBO to Air 'Updated Version' of Sunday's Concert Tomorrow

HBO says it will telecast “an updated version” of Sunday’s inaugural-related concert tomorrow (Wednesday) at 11:30 p.m. Eastern and Pacific time,

By “updated,” the premium cable network means it will include the invocation that had been delivered by the Rev. V. Gene Robinson, the openly gay New Hampshire Episcopal bishop, at the ceremony’s start.

HBO’s Sunday telecast had not included the invocation and the premium telecast had exclusive TV rights to the event, which meant no one watching the concert on TV saw the invocation. They did catch celebrities like Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks, Mary J. Blige, Beyonce, and Garth Brooks. Obama addressed the crowd near the end of the bash.

HBO had opened up its Sunday concert telecast to non-paying members; tomorrow’s re-telecast is available to subscribers only.

Since I'm buried under a bunch of orchestra scores these days, I wonder if anyone has heard anything about a commercial release of the John Williams piece based on "Simple Gifts" with the instrumentalists who premiered it?

Lord lord lord, that "Song of the Poet" is one long number! Not as long as the 15-minute Prologue, however!
