Today we celebrate the Twin Victories in the form of rulings from the SCOTUS on DOMA and Prop 8. Many of my friends are unsure how to feel at the narrow ruling in the California case, and where to place their hopes in future progress. While we have today consolidated some meaningful gains on issues that were in question, there remains a deal of work to do for those of us in non-Marriage Equality States. In Louisiana, I hope to shortly begin a campaign of speaking before congregations and social groups to recruit for Equality from outside our community- to broaden our coalition and to network for action here. It is my firm belief that together, all of us striving in every corner of the country- no how matter how long the odds in some of our states- that our striving hastens the day of full equality, and meaningfully emboldens those competing in front-line states like Illinois, Ohio, Nevada, Oregon, Jew Jersey, New Mexico and Hawaii. Please take the opportunity afforded by these historic victories to rededicate yourself- as I plan to- to the Struggle for our Equality! FORWARD!
