On Wisconsin, On Wisconsin, plunge right through that line.....

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has accepted a challenge to that state's constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman.

This should be interesting, and I'm betting that they will rule that the amendment is unconstitutional for the same reasons as neighboring Iowa's Supreme Court ruled against the ban.

I spent 6 years in Milwaukee. Wisconsin has its share of rednecks, like any state. And it is also heavily Catholic. But, Wisconsin is also a pretty progressive state. It's had the only Socialist governor in American history. It was the first state to pass a law protecting gays from discrimination, back in the early 1970's, which still stands today. And it has one of the few openly gay congresspersons, Tammy Baldwin from Madison.

The small drip of marriage equality seems to be turning into more of a torrent. I hope the this influences the California Supreme Court on their Prop H8 decision.
