Wednesday night – same sex onions

Very busy right now.. But making time to follow the supreme court debate peels away the onion on same sex unions an California's prop 8. I have several friends for whom this is personal. Its their marriages that are being debated .. I understand their outrage that someone else would have a vote on whom you choose to spend your life with.

One of the things i learned today was that Edi Windsor, the woman at the center of the supreme court case, was an IBMEr. She had to pay a huge estate tax when her spouse Thea died. that tax would have been 0 had her partner been a man. Its a tough story, but i cant think of a better legacy for Thea in making the right to marry a law.

Lets hope we do the right thing…..
