The Federal Prop 8 Trial is heating up. So far I have been impressed by Attorneys Ted Olson and David Boies. They have brought an impressive group of witnesses to the stand. Lots of sources to follow but the Courage Campaign is quite impressive in their coverage.

Some say it's shameful and others say it is no different than Perez Hilton or William Sledd (who both got shows for their apparent gay personalities).
