There is light at the end of the tunnel however -- the Supreme Court 
just threw out Colorado's nasty "Amendment 2" that tried to deny homosexuals
equal protection under the law.  To me the decision has just as much to do with
rights for women and all minorities as it has to do with gays specifically.
(crossing fingers that, by hook or by crook, reason will continue to prevail...
even if it has to be imposed from above :-)
