Puerto Rican Governor Supports Nondiscrimination While California Court to Review Prop 8

No, this fine piece of manhood is not the governor but he is Puerto Rican actor Amaury Nolasco, also known as Fernando in "Prison Break." Thought I would honor the island and its news with a nibbly pic of Amaury.

So the island's governor has extended certain rights to gays and lesbians--however, a fight is expected with incoming governor-elect Luis Fortuno. 'Natch, there's also pending legislation to define marriage on the island as only between a man and woman. Watch this to get dragged into our larger cultural war.

Meanwhile, the California Supreme Court will hear 3 lawsuits brought by same-sex couples as a result of Prop 8. And opponents are already threatening the judges with a recall.

This ain't over yet! I also hope to post soon on other activities and initiatives that have sprung up as a result of the reinvigorated rights movement. Cheers.
