So our adversaries are spending in the six figures in their losing effort to block marriage equality. I note that the single largest payee is Foley & Lardner, the law firm of Cleta Mitchell, attorney for Bishop Jackson's group. We thought she might be working pro bono, but evidently not (unless she spent 55 grand on photocopying charges). Plus over $72,000 on public affairs firms. It may not have accomplished much, but hey, it's good for the economy.

Incidentally, Bob's charming photo of Bishop Jackson and me below is from the hallway outside the D.C. Council chamber, where we were chatting as we awaited one of the Council's votes on the marriage equality bill. If you are concerned that my civility toward our adversaries might get in the way of my advocacy, look at my posting on Jackson below (from Feb. 1).

I am happy to welcome Bob as the newest contributor to GLAA Forum. His expertise and insights are an invaluable asset.
