Angela McCaskill On Leave From Gallaudet University: Should Minorities Be Empathetic?

Interesting…So the Chief Diversity Officer of Gallaudet University Angela McCaskill was placed on paid administrative leave after she signed her name to a petition opposing gay marriage in Maryland. Normally this wouldn’t be an issue, as we all have choices but….she’s the Diversity Officer. It’s like…she joined the KKK.

Ignoring the title to the article..empathetic to what? That she got a good paying job by lying?

Denied divorce, some same-sex couples ‘wed-locked’

So…you might wanna think “twice” before saying I do.

On her wedding day, Jessica Port wore a tan and black dress to match the tan button-down shirt and patterned necktie of her spouse-to-be, Virginia Anne Cowan.

They had taken a vacation from their home in Washington D.C. to a San Francisco courthouse in 2008 to get married, since California had recently begun to allow same-sex marriages.

“We were just like every other couple, we really thought that this was it,” said Port, 30, who works as a counselor at a special education school. “We had nothing to worry about. We were just focused on marriage and future.”

Lesbian woman arrested in North Carolina for seeking marriage license

gaywrites:

In response to North Carolina’s passing of Amendment One, same-sex couples from all over the state have been pouring into marriage license offices demanding licenses, knowing they will fail.

At the Register of Deeds office in Winston-Salem, nine gay and lesbian couples tried to get marriage licenses. When she and her partner were denied, Mary Jamis stuck around rather than vacating the area, saying she refused to leave until she was granted her constitutional right to get married.

Jamis and a friend blocked the entrance to the marriage license office and refused to leave half an hour after it closed. They were arrested and then charged with second-degree trespass, then released without bond.

Oy. It will not be like this forever. One day, hopefully soon, we will evolve to a point where people can marry the person they love without risking arrest. We’ll get there.

Prez is down for Gay Marriage... Woot!..woot?
