An excellent features article about Steven and Roger Ham, a gay male couple in Arizona that started out by foster-adopting a kid at age 5 who was worried about his four younger siblings, who were all split up and bouncing around different foster homes. And so it goes, adopting siblings, infants, and special needs children. Their story is all the more remarkable for living in Arizona, where two men cannot be legally married, nor adopt children together, and the Governor just signed into law a bill that preferences (different-sex) married couples in adoptions, all else being equal.

Andrew Shirvell has been fired from his post as Assistant Attorney General for his vendetta against openly gay University of Michigan student body president Chris Armstrong. More at the Detroit News.

Some of you may have noticed that our bathrooms now have a "Unisex" sign over the old signs on the doors. We decided it just didn't make sense to have 2 single bathrooms that were gendered.

To support our move, we made sure to cite a law journal article, Loo Law: The Public Washroom as a Hyper-Regulated Place, 20 Hastings Women's L.J 45 (2009). The article is attached for those of you that wish to investigate a bit further.
