I can see the bankruptcy ruling, though. The couple was legally married but now they're being denied a standard legal benefit of marriage. The gay marriages were not declared void--were they? bad citizen for not knowing that--so the only reason for denying that marriage benefit is because someone thinks they're icky. And ickiness is not a legally recognized state.
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

If it's the California marriages that were done before being struck down, then the marriages are not void.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
A friend of mine is being interviewed by all the local news orgs because she and her wife are affected by that ruling. It's a bummer they had to file for bankruptcy but such an awesome outcome! I'm so proud of her for being a public face for the issue.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Fantastic interview with Peter Gallagher at AV Club.
God, I'd sort of forgotten how long he's been in the business and how much theater he's done. My favorite story was him messing with Margaret Thatcher, but his stories about working with James Cagney and Jack Lemmon and Geoffrey Rush are cool too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why is there a team called the Canucks and one called the Canadiens? Why do I suddenly care?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Canadians have no imagination, is why.
I mean, apparently.

Plus the Maple Leafs, the symbol of Canada.
They should name a team after Poutine. The Winnipeg Poutine.

That's nothing. The CFL had two teams with the actual same name.
