A big day in the same-sex
marriage wars. The Associated Press reports
that the state's Supreme Judicial Court will rule at 10 a.m. in the
Goodrich same-sex marriage case.
Also known as an "outside
agitator." Not that I mind, but somehow I doubt that the
Boston Globe would refer to Ron Crews as a "transplant" in a
headline if he had come north from Georgia to fight in favor
of same-sex marriage rather than against.
The headline accompanies
this
profile by Yvonne Abraham,
who portrays the former Georgia legislator as a modernist hatemonger
-- that is, he hates lesbians and gay men, but apparently not
African-Americans, since he got in trouble with his constituents down
South when he voted against the Confederate flag.
You might also want to check out
the website
of the transplant's organization, the Massachusetts Family
Institute.
