      <![CDATA[This is <i>so</i> important right now, at a time when the Supreme Court is contemplating the DOMA and Prop 8 cases.  Of course, it might have been more help if at least one of the Justices was Protestant, but oh well, still.

I think one of the ways in which gay and lesbian couples really can teach something to straight couples is the way in which they hold up the possibility of an absolute equality and mutuality in marriage”<br />
