Courage and Equality

Ari B. Bloomekatz and Jessica Garrison have today's update in the Los Angeles Times on the attacks against the California Marriage Amendment. Courage Campaign wants to go to the ballot sooner, but Equality California wants to wait, saying...
Most of the group's top 100 donors to last year's No-on-8 campaign said they would be reluctant or unwilling to participate in a campaign in 2010.
Equality California knows that the voters are against it, and their only hope at the ballot is to bully and indoctrinate enough people, which will take longer. Since the marriage neutering advocates pretty much control most mainstream media and public education in California, they should be able to do this easily.

[More after the jump.]

"We're not going to let the calendar decide for us when we can win," said Courage Campaign Chairman Rick Jacobs.
Why would we expect that someone who hasn't let statistics, voters, law, reason, nature, all of human history, tradition, religion, worldwide culture, or any aspect of reality "decide" for him to let "the calendar" decide?
Also Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn R. Walker ordered all parties in a federal lawsuit challenging Proposition 8 to resubmit their case management statements because the originals failed "to get down to the specifics of how we are going to proceed," according to a copy of the legal order.
The fight goes on. Meanwhile, domestic partners are already treated as spouses by the state. The truly courageous in California are those who stand up for marriage, and refuse to roll over and let a counterfeit take its place in the law. No court can steal our language. Bride+groom marriage licensing is as equal as marriage licensing can get.
