Maine Lawyer Credited in Fight for Gay Marriage

Mary Benauto is an unsung hero today.

She started it all back when "they", the power gays, said we shouldn't be trying for the conventional.

Missing entirely the point that the conventional is equal rights. Not some arcane straight idea of marriage.

We were on the bandwagon early when there weren't many other people. We gave some money, went to some meetings, helped Mary launch the ship that just sailed into the SCOTUS today and yesterday.

It is too early to claim victory. Even if we have Prop 8 thrown out and DOMA decided as unconstitutional there is more to do. Each state. Not just the ten.

But it is inevitable. So are we. We always have been whether the bigots and homophobes thought/think so or not.
