After reading this passage from Kendall: "Mother told me she hated me, that I was disgusting, repulsive. She wished she’d had an abortion rather than having a gay son. She said she wished I’d had Down’s syndrome or been born retarded." … tell me .. who do you wish to protect your children from?

Kendall, you are a hero to this cause and I for one appreciate you telling your story.

Today drives home the fact that we ARE polically powerless, and that we've ONLY made progress due to people's realization that A) we do not control our sexuality and B) these discriminations are just plain unfair and unAmerican. What power we have is only because we have won the hearts and minds of fair-minded Americans, not because we have political seats or representation.
Today also drives home the HUGE, MASSIVE and completely COORDINATED efforts of the Yes on H8 folks. Our efforts at organization and fund-raising are pathetic when compared to what went on leading up to Nov '08 election. I'm glad to see their effort being exposed- no group in history has been so well-organized in fighting a politcal cause.
And yet, even after all of that, we lost by a few percentage points. God, if there is one, truly is on the side of equality and fairness to all people, even LBGT's.
I'm nearly in tears over it all. Thanks for covering this.

Is anyone doing courtroom sketches like you used to see on TV?

I can't believe the Supremes did not allow the videos to be shown, especially after we all witnessed the Clarence Thomas v. Anita Hill trials. What a mockery and injustice that he even sits there.

I think that if you can call out each example of politicians supporting the LGBT cause then you're proving the point that there is not a large power base. I hope Judge Walker sees that, too.

Rick, and everyone at the Courage Campaign, there are so many of us that are immensely grateful for what you are doing. I cannot imagine going through the day not being able to find out what is happening in that court room. It feels like the trial of the century is happening and it's thanks to you that we are even aware of what's going on.

There are some others we need to be thanking too: the incredible lawyers who took this case on for us. I know the gay community was very skeptical at first, and some organizations were very slow to come to the table about this trial, but I have to say, it's pretty amazing to have such fine advocates in our collective behalf. Rick, PLEASE, be sure to thank the Plaintiff team and the Plaintiffs themselves for being willing to go through this process. I feel like our community will forever be deeply indebted not only to the Courage Campaign, but to the team of outstanding individuals bringing truth to light, and exposing the depths of bigotry against us. Regardless of the outcome, it is historic to feel like we are having our day in court.

It struck me yesterday that literally NOT ONE POINT the "yes on H8" people brought up and pounded home during the campaign was based on anything even vaguely resembling the truth. Every single argument they made was based on viscous and intentionally-distorted lies.

Reminds me of a quote from Ghandi: "When I despair, I think that – all through history, the way of truth and light has always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it. Always."

Thanks for helping the tyrants and the lies to fall before the Truth.

I am an American living in Malaysia with my same sex partner (in a loving, monogamous, committed relationship). Were we a man and a woman, we could be married and live as a legally married couple in America, (with the attendant rights and responsibilities). However, I do not have this option as would a similarly situated heterosexual couple. This is unfair and unjust discrimination largely based on an ignorance of homosexuality and an encroachment of religious beliefs into civil governance.
