javierogaz: “Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples. The Constitution simply does not allow for ‘laws of this sort.’ Romer v. Evans, 517 U.S. 620, 633 (1996).” — Judge Stephen Reinhardt

In the Bedroom, a remarkable film by Todd Field, is streaming for free on Hulu. Be sure to check it out. “There are scenes as true as movies can make them, and even when the story develops thriller elements, they are redeemed, because the movie isn’t about what happens, but about why.” - Roger Ebert’s review of the film.
