Quote of the Week:


“The upside is that it’s the first time that we have a state high court rule unanimously that denying same-sex couples the rights and obligations of marriage is unconstitutional. We know there will be howling and fear-mongering and distortions of the opinion by the right in anticipation of the midterm elections. They will without a doubt attempt to exploit this decision for partisan gain.”


— Matt Foreman, Executive Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
The Philadelphia Inquirer, October 25, 2006
