There will be no shortage of news reporting on this event. I’m always gratified to come across reporters who have unique journalistic styles that keep me riveted to the articles they write. Cathy Kelly of the Santa Cruz Sentinel is one of these:
Federal judge’s ruling guts Proposition 8, the voter-approved ban on same-sex marriages
(Hmmm. Let me try and guess which side she was on.)
(About halfway into the article)
Demonstrations coinciding with the ruling’s release were planned Wednesday throughout the San Francisco Bay area and elsewhere, including the Diversity Center in Santa Cruz. A handful of people gathered at the center Wednesday afternoon to await the ruling. Initially apprehensive, the mood turned celebratory once the judge’s order was made public.
“We know and expect this is to be just one piece on the path to marriage equality. But it’s a critical part,” said Lex, who is queer and does not use a last name. “It feels good to celebrate right now.”
Of course, I could be reading that last sentence wrong. Maybe she’s trying to say that Lex is queer *because* he does not use a last name?
