A Defeat For Discrimination

from Poliglot:

The Washington DC Court of Appeals has issued its decision in Bishop Harry Jackson's appeal of the DC Board of Elections and Ethic's decision that his proposed marriage initiative--a ban on same-sex marriage--was an improper subject of an initiative. All 9 judges agreed that Jackson's proposed marriage initiative would violate the Human Rights Act and is, thus, not permitted.

And, in the absence of a successful appeal, marriage equality in Washington DC, which went into effect earlier this year, cannot be subject to an initiative.

Cannot.

Fab-U-Lous.

You can put down the Bible, Bishop Jackson, God and the law are not on your side.

God is love.
And the law, at least in DC, is equal.
