There is some enlightenment down there. No kidding. The taliban hasn’t gotten to everyone.

Someday, the so. baptist churches and those of like minded churches will lie in ruins. A few will be saved as an example to future generations of Mans inhumanity to Man. In the name of God, no less.

Travis, don’t be a dipshit. You’re stereotyping the *entire* south as bad as the right-wing extremists due to us gays as a whole. Get a grip on yourself.

Ahh Georgia – the racist, sodomy laws on the books still, slavery, wife-beating, dirty infested south!!!!!

The south SUCKS and reakes of sewage!!!!!

Get with the times Georgia!!!!!

It really is a shame and disgrace because some of those bigots from Georgia, Texas and Utah are up here with their plan of proposition 71 – (the plan to REPEAL domestic partnerships here in WA).

DO NOT SIGN – DO NOT SIGN!!!!!!

Being an attorney, I hope readers realize the importance of such a case as setting a precedent for the sexual minorities in a way that is sub rosa but no less real. What the judge did in dissolving the order prohibiting contact with a parent’s gay or lesbian friends and associates strikes a blow against the stereotype that we “choose” or orientation (with its concomitant that we have some sort of plan to “recruit” — Harvey Milk’s term, not mine — young people into our “lifestyle”). As more and more of these stereotypes tumble, we win rights taken granted by non-queer people. What a courageous decision by a state’s highest court of law!

As a Georgia resident, I am shocked by the decision. Could it be the good ol’ boy network has been cracked? I can only hope.
(Fayette county is south of Atlanta. The majority of the population is white, christian, and heterosexual. The judge’s divorce ruling reflected the attitude of the community)
