Who'da thunk it? San Francisco Judge Richard Kramer - a Roman Catholic Republican appointed to the bench by a former GOP governor - has just decided that "equal protection under the law" trumps the Religious Right's vaunted (and faux) "trah-di-shun" of when it comes to civil recognition of same-sex relationships.
Also of interest, however, is Kramer's political donation history: long time AIDS activist Michael Petrelis points out in his March 15 blog entry, that Kramer donated thousands to the collective campaigns of openly lesbian California Superior Court Justice Nancy L. Davis, openly gay Castro District Supervisor Bevan Dufty, same-sex marriage proponent San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and his opponent Matt Gonzalez - the first openly candidate of the gay-friendly Green Party to run for mayoral office in US history. To give Kramer his GOP props, however, he donated $500 to Ah-nald Schwarzenegger's successful campaign for Governator of Kali-For-Nee-Ah.
The fundies are blaming it on the influence of living in San Francisco.
I can hear my mother now: "How many ways will that man roast in Hell?"
