I have long argued that it is neither the drag queens nor the dykes on bikes that are the issue when it comes to Pride parades. Instead, it's the perception that's shaped by Bill O'Reilly's industry.

Upon coming out of the Democratic primary bubble, I had been lulled into thinking that everybody was now trying to work in an adult, democratic, progressive, civic manner. Silly me.

Yes, it was a simple, tasteful wedding, with our rabbi, our immediate families, 65 friends, and something we hadn't expected -- more than 100 reporters and photographers from all over the world.

I've been happily married for 12 years; am I going to walk off stage one night and say to myself, "You know, I've had 12 blissful years with my lovely wife Catherine but what about Chuck? What's Chuck doing later?"

On the first full day of same-sex weddings in California, what was notable about the scene at West Hollywood Park was what it wasn't.

I must admit to a certain amount of jealousy of California. LGBT workers can still be fired in Indiana; we don't even have a hate crimes law. I doubt I'll live long enough to see marriage equality here.

In spite the public's incongruent feelings about marriage, there are a few things that supporters of same-gender marriage in California have in their favor that were not present when the initiative was on the ballot in 2000, specifically time and reality.

John McCain is anti-gay and despite his pretenses toward moderation and tolerance, he is just as dangerous for gays as George W. Bush.
