The gay-marriage victory is bigger than you think

From UCLA Magazine, Robin Keats on how the Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law and Policy is generating much of the research on sexual orientation and gender identity. What if homosexuality were a choice? Nick Clairmont wonders. Stop saying “sexual preference”: You may mean well, but it makes you sound ignorant. Stop calling it “gay marriage”: As we celebrate marriage equality, it's time to change how we talk about it. Don't celebrate the gay marriage victory with a wedding of your own. Reid Wilson on Will, Grace, and a decade of change on gay rights. Hayes Brown on how the military will recruit at this year’s San Francisco gay pride celebration. The gay marriage rulings are about amazing — and utterly rational — historical change. The gay-marriage victory is bigger than you think: Linda Hirshman on how the DOMA ruling creates a path for nationwide equality. Molly Ball on why this is the best year ever for gay rights in America. Rep. Tim Huelskamp and other members of Congress say they will attempt to introduce in the coming days a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. Put bluntly, the gay-rights cause has succeeded precisely because the Christian cosmology has dissipated in the mind of the West. Nancy Pelosi's response to Michele Bachmann's anti-gay marriage statement is the best ever. Man returns book because Oscar Wilde was gay. What’s next for the gay rights movement?
