Prop 8 liveblogging - and the marriage equality debate rages on
So the Prop 8 trial in my good ol' state of California started Monday. Supreme Court ruled against allowing live media coverage. So much for transparency.
to try to make up for that, the Courage Campaign is doing live blogging from the courtroom.

Please check it out.
ETA:
Reading through the first couple of days of courtroom summaries is amazingly edifying. A couple of the expert witnesses give us a crash course in the history of marriage in the United States, history of LGBT discrimination in the US, and lots of sociological tidbits. Also the folks commenting on the liveblogging are building into a thriving community, and people are sharing relevant links left and right.
Also! A hilariously relevant flash animation as SF Gate.
