When U.S. District Judge Joseph Tauro ruled last week in Massachusetts that the federal law banning same-sex marriage is unconstitutional it reminded me of something. There comes a moment in every struggle for equality when the arguments for maintaining discriminatory laws and practices suddenly seem absurd to reasonable people.

Despite every thing we hear there is always hope both from with in us and out side of us. The conservatives are showing their hand with their irrational behavior and people are beginning to see this.
