Wednesday night I didn't sleep. I told the guys at the Marriage Equality Defense Fund I'd have the website ready in time for the hearing. I didn't, but I was close. I've got the new Drupal site up and most of the content is there and most of the features work. See the beta version.

This is a speech I heard at the Marriage Equality Defense Fund fundraiser a few weeks ago.  As a man of faith, it has always bothered me that religion is generally seen as anti-gay.  This further plays into the Republicans' strategy of polarizing America; if religion is anti-gay, then gays will become anti-religion.  I've seen plenty of anti-religion posters at anti-Prop 8 rallies and it saddens me.  That's why this speech resonates for me.
