Alex remarked that I didn’t post video of Keith Olbermann’s “Special Comment” about Prop 8 from Monday night. So in case you didn’t see it, here it is:

If you haven’t heard, tomorrow there will be a simultaneous nationwide protest against the antigay measures that were passed in four states last week. Prop 8 in California, Prop 102 in Arizona, and Prop 2 of Florida all banned same-sex marriage, and Arkansas banned unmarried couples from adopting children (a measure aimed at same-sex couples).

The protests will be at 10:30 a.m. Pacific time, 1:30 pm Eastern. Go here to find a protest site in your state. Matt and I are planning to go to the protest at City Hall in Manhattan.

Charles Kaiser writes today about why the same-sex marriage movement has not hit a brick wall, as the New York Times claimed this morning. The one point on which I disagree with him is New York. Although the Democrats have finally won a majority in the state senate, it’s not clear we’ll have a Democratic majority leader, because it’s only a one-vote majority and there are some rogue Democratic senators, like Ruben Díaz:

Mr. Díaz, a Pentecostal minister, has long been one of the most socially conservative voices in the Senate. He continued to say on Wednesday that he could not support as leader any lawmaker who would help make gay marriage become law, even if it were his own son, Assemblyman Ruben Díaz Jr.

“I would not support anybody, Malcolm Smith, my son Ruben Díaz Jr., anybody who supports that,” he said.

This makes me mad, but we’ll see what happens.
