The Gay Thing (Update): Nevada AG to Reconsider Brief Filed on Same-sex Marriage

Though I've yet to receive a reply to my letter from Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, I'd like to think I had something to do with her change of heart on the brief she filed to the 9th Circuit Court of appeals.  Gay Nevadans and their friends, family and supporters were aghast at Masto's brief which used extremely derogatory language, and was out of date and out of step with recent court decisions and legal actions in regard to marriage equality.

I'm hopeful that Masto has either gotten the message, or even more hopefully, that she wasn't directly responsible for some of the objectionable language. And here's hoping that her "reconsideration" leads to a reversal of her original brief. Counting on you, girl.
