By Paul Hogarth Yesterday, the California Supreme Court announced it would take up the legal challenges to Proposition 8. But while lawyers debate the future of marriage equality, activists are planning next steps regardless of the outcome. There’s a lot of grass-roots energy emanating from the recent protests, and...

It was the inspiration from Paul Hogarth's book "Drawing People" and moving into a nursing home full of people willing to be drawn that finally got me started. There was a chess club that met with the residents here on a weekly basis and because they were so focused on their game it provided a safe way to observe people...

By Paul Hogarth I didn’t join the street protests against Proposition 8 right after it passed. My gut reaction was: “where were all these people when we had the chance to defeat it'” But “No on 8” ran a terrible campaign that would not have effectively used more volunteers, and...

Paul Hogarth , a California lawyer whom I know slightly through my friend Paul Dosh , takes a look at the legal challenge to Prop 8, and is more optimistic than before that the California Supreme Court might strike it down: But after having read Herrera’s well-written brief and done some legal research, I am now more optimistic that justice will prevail. Prop 8 was not your typical...

SF City Attorney Dennis Herrera has filed suit (PDF) to halt the enactment of Proposition 8 eliminating the right of same-sex couples to marry. Paul Hogarth reviews the plaintiff's brief : Prop 8 was not your typical "amendment" that merely tinkers with the California Constitution.

By Paul Hogarth When Democrats took Congress in 2006, the media erroneously gave credit to “conservatives” in the Party. They’re not claiming it this time around, but we still hear the dubious concept that America is a “center-right” country – and so President Barack Obama must “tread lightly” on...

By Paul Hogarth Proposition 8 is still “too close to call,” but the initiative to ban marriage equality has led all night – and with San Bernardino the only county to still remain largely uncounted, at 3:00 a.m. the measure is ahead 52-48. It pains me to describe it...

While it's technically still too close to call, it looks like the same-sex marriage ban, Prop. 8, is victorious . Why? Well, one reason, according to BeyondChron's Paul Hogarth, might be that "[p]rogressives were lulled into complacency by early poll numbers, and distracted by the Barack Obama campaign." Hogarth goes on to say that "discrimination has been enshrined in our Constitution"...
