Bloggers Never Rest - What, I try to spend a couple of days skiing in Utah and the whole gay marriage project goes all to Hell? Cali's Supreme Court stops the San Fran weddings (as Ben notes below), and the Massachusetts legislature lays the smack down with a constitutional amendment. Sigh. In better news, the weather here is gorgeous.

Despite the setbacks, this WaPo Style piece on the clash of partisans outside the Mass. state house ends on a couple of nice, positive notes. First, it observes how the younger generation can't "figure out what all the fuss is about," and contrasts gays even as young as 27 from those five years their junior in terms of the "different expectations about the trajectory of their lives," all because of the growing public awareness of lifelong gay couples. (I guess Drew was on to something.) Second, it describes how the Bible-thumping protestors have replaced drag queens and leather daddies as the front-page wackos in our collective media consciousness. Amend the Bible, indeed.
