prop 8.

from the la times: In an opinion written by Chief Justice Ronald M. George, the state high court ruled today that the November initiative was not an illegal constitutional revision, as gay rights lawyers contended, nor unconstitutional because it took away an inalienable right, as Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown argued.

hofstra LGBT fellowship

so... just to be clear, i had (what felt like) a horrific interview for the hofstra LGBT fellowship. my interests in LGBT family law were really raked over the coals... one interviewer went so far as to say, "since you, an attractive black female, have so much interest in family issues, why don't you focus on the family issues concerning black families? personally, I think of LGBT family law issues as white, upper middle class issues." he was totally serious... even though the majority of LGBT families in america are black, latina and asian lesbian households.

i'm guessing you can imagine my surprise that i got called this afternoon with the offer to come to hofstra as the CO'12 LGBT fellow....

i think i'll just leave this post at that.
