story twenty-three: live at the gay marriage trial

"Paterson Win on Gay Rites Looks Likely"

okay, not a trial. but i wanted to reference an album by the fall.

update, as promised

so, i'm most likely not doing a story on the hearing (i'll probably write something down when an actual decision comes down, after labor day), but the update, upon going to the gay marriage hearing, is that things look very bad for the alliance defense fund (the enemies of governor paterson's pro-gay-marriage executive order). the judge pretty much hated their lawyer and shot down everything he had to say, and kept saying "yeah yeah!" to the two litigators for the defense.

story twenty-two: gay marriage set for trial

"Christian Group Challenges Paterson on Gay Rites Order"

love that pun. a big issue with a complicated legal history. stay tuned for an update after i go to the hearing.
