Lambda Legal filed a motion in New Jersey yesterday seeking marriage equality on behalf of six couples and the surviving partner of a seventh:  "'The New Jersey Supreme Court ordered equality for same-sex couples when it decided our marriage lawsuit in 2006, and the legislature has failed to meet that crystal-clear obligation,' said Lambda Legal Deputy Legal Director Hayley Gorenberg. 'Civil unions are a failed legislative experiment in providing equality—marriage equality is the only solution.'" The plaintiffs are those in the original Lewis v. Harris lawsuit: "Lambda Legal filed Lewis v. Harris in June 2002 on behalf of ...

This week in pop culture and law is dedicated to Oprah Winfrey. In a 126-page decision, a Pennsylvania judge refused to dismiss a defamation case against her. The nerve of a judge not to give O her wishes, right? Well, now it's up to a jury to decide the case filed by Larato Mzamane, the former headmistress of O's South Africa-based Leadership Academy of Girls. Mzamane ran O's school when allegations of abuse surfaced, and O publicly said that she had "lost confidence in (Mzamane's) ability to run this school. And therefore, she will not be ...

At the risk of alienating 99% of the population, I love Dawson's Creek. I love it so much that I bought Sam the entire box set for Christmas with the ulterior motive that I would be able to watch the series from beginning to end (incidentally, Sam is one of the 1% who likes the show as well :P). I am now onto the 5th season, the second last of the entire series.Yes, I know teenagers don't speak like the way the characters do. Yes, they are all impossibly stilted and unrealistically precocious but I wish I am half ...

The far-right has got to stop saying "gay" when the person is in fact straight-identified! This from the Traditional Values Coalition: At [yesteday's] Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on overturning the misnamed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy in the military, Senators should look no further than the scandal involving former Congressman Eric Massa. His shameful behavior as a sexual predator in the Navy clearly shows why lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals should not be permitted to openly serve in the Armed Forces. The ex-Congressman from New York is now the new poster child for upholding the 1993 law banning gays ...

No one should be excluded from our love, our compassion or our concern because of race or gender, faith or ethnicity -- or because of their sexual orientation. Nor should anyone be excluded from health care on any of these grounds. In my country of South Africa, we struggled for years against the evil system of apartheid that divided human beings, children of the same God, by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights. We ...
