So (as Matt mentioned in GMN) it turns out that the federal judge overseeing the Prop 8 trial in San Francisco is… gay.

@Reymont: Just to humor you: Being gay in this situation is kind of like being a bicycle rider. See, the only time I’ve ever given a statement to the police was in a traffic accident, and I thought the bicyclist was at fault and I said so. They’d violated the crosswalk laws, (for a veteran in a wheelchair no less.)
I stand corrected!
