Louisiana state judge
says marriage ban is
unconstitutional, ruling stayed
Louisiana State Judge Edward Rubin ruled on
Monday, Sept. 22, that the state’s law banning
same-sex marriage is unconstitutional because it
violates the due process clause of the 14th
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the equal
protection clause of the 14th amendment and the
full faith and credit clause of the Constitution.
Adam Polaski posted at FreedomtoMarry.org’s
blog that “the ruling today grants the second-par-
ent adoption and affirms that the Louisiana amend-
ment violates the due process and equal protection
clauses of the 14th Amendment.”
On Thurs., Sept. 25, the ruling was stayed fol-
lowing an appeal by the state’s attorney general.

An appalling review of
'Rocky Horror'(not mine)
I decided to do something I never, ever do: Pub-
licly call out another “review.” In the theater blog
called The Column, Mary L. Clark reviewed the
show ... at least, that’s what they call it. As some-
one who directed my attention to this story pointed
out, she refers to out director Joel Ferrell’s “lifestyle
choice” being affected by the show.
Urnmm.... what?
I really, really thought we had progressed past
the point one’s innate sexual orientation was la-
beled — insultingly, ignorantly, regressively — as a
“choice” and a “lifestyle.”
Read both my and Clark’s reviews and her re-
sponse to my post on our InstantTea blog.
