Internationally Renowned Author Terry Angel Mason Discusses Gay Marriage and New Book on Beautiful Struggle Radio Show with Host Penni Wilson

"A federal judge has ruled that gay marriages in California should remain on hold until at least Aug. 18.

Judge Vaughn Walker set the deadline Thursday to give gay marriage opponents time to appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. If the appeals court fails to act by 5 p.m. local time next Wednesday, then gay marriages can go forward.

Walker struck down the state's voter-approved gay marriage ban last week in a case many believe is destined for the Supreme Court.

The AP reports that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he wants the state to begin handing out marriage licenses immediately. State Attorney General Jerry Brown agrees. Both politicians agree with a federal judge's ruling that struck down the state's gay marriage ban. The judge will now decide whether to allow same-sex marriages to proceed.

While making little sense at all, the head of a New York-based think tank testified that marriage equality helps children, but weakens the meaning of marriage. The AP reports: David Blankenhorn, president of the New York-based Institute for American Values, took the stand Tuesday as the second and final expert witness for the ban's sponsors.

Good morning....wanted to update everyone on the televised proceeding for Prop 8 here as follows: http://www.equalrightsfoundation.org/live-updates/

In addition, a surprising admission by a Utah lawmaker. She is carrying a child for a gay couple as a traditional surrogate.

"Rep. Christine Johnson will serve an additional role when the Utah Legislature convenes this month. The lesbian lawmaker announced she's a surrogate mother, carrying a baby for two gay men.

Right-wing political mastermind - Frank Schubert - has acknowledged his lesbian sister in press interviews. Now Anne Marie Schubert, currently a deputy district attorney for Sacramento, announced she's running to be a Sacramento County Superior Court judge.

The decision on whether to overturn Proposition 8 is due to be handed down from the California Supreme Court by June 3rd.
