I mean, it is a little odd because usually the unisex bathrooms are single and not multiple stalls, but still.

If Ally McBeal taught me anything it's that uni-sex bathrooms are magical places that are a never-ending source of epiphanies.

I wish I could experience existential horror at the concept of a unisex bathroom. I can only imagine life would be full of so many wonderful things that I wouldn't be able to stop having earth shattering emotional responses to. It would be like living in an anime.

She is also the Duke, not Duchess, of Normandy. This despite the fact that the English relinquished any claims on Normandy in 1259 and haven't actually held any of it since they occupied it on and off in the hundred years war.

In Belize the court just struck down the law against homosexual sex, http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/belize-strikes-gay-sex-law/#gs.BRqWq34 the striking down of the law may be very important. The law in question was from the British Empire criminal codes, so all the other territories in the region that were controlled by the Crown have the same law and roughly similar constitution. So this precedent can be applied to the rest of the Caribbean. Oh and the governments plans to outlaw rape of a male can now go ahead as the gov held off while the court worked through this case.

Weren't there already earlier precedents for such from other countries deriving from English common law, such as in the UK itself, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and probably any number of places I'm forgetting? I don't think the lack of precedent is really the stumbling block for the remaining countries that have their head stuck in the sand. Good on them though in any case, it's certainly going to be important to the queer community in Belize if nothing else, and every victory counts.

The "outlaw rape of a male" thing would put them ahead of the UK, and inline with much of northern Europe and Scandinavia. Assuming that they mean "outlaw all non-consensual sex regardless of the genders of the victim and perpetrator" and not just "outlaw male-male rape, which we didn't need to bother outlawing before because we could just prosecute the rapist for homosexuality." I'm surprised that it took so long being as they were the last remaining non-island British territories to gain independence, well after decriminalization in the UK, and have a lot of wealthy British who immigrated there after independence, but apparently they have strong laws against immigrants involving themselves directly in politics (only indirectly  ).

I don't think the lack of precedent is really the stumbling block for the remaining countries that have their head stuck in the sand. No because overseas territories had there own unique criminal codes, though in some cases regions like the Caribbean had the same system. English common law only applied to the UK and the Dominions, and even in the dominions wasn't adopted uniformly, the policies towards natives quite explicitly contradict common law in the UK. Indeed in some parts of the Empire British courts only tried British people, the local population often had to make do with special courts or in some cases military courts. This is why the history of the Empire is full of colonies cracking down on a custom or practice like say slavery that is perfectly legal in another colony. Most of the time colonial law was far more brutal then in the UK, for example physical punishments and executions were far more common in the Colonies even after the UK banned them. Though interestingly enough the law on homosexuality was much harsher in the UK, it used to be punished by death, then forced castration, but in most colonies it appears to have punished by prison terms.

National Org of Marriage always does fundraisers to keep them running. Well about that... First Email quote:NOM began our critical Summer Membership Drive on July 22nd. We’re now three weeks into our drive — the halfway point — and we have only received 256 contributions from our members. We’re only 17% toward our goal of receiving 1,500 membership contributions of at least $35. That is pathetic. Today's Email is just poetry quote:I imagine that Anthony Kennedy, the Supreme Court justice who wrote the opinion a year ago redefining marriage, will be laughing out loud to himself realizing that the most passionate supporters of marriage — NOM’s members who love the Lord and who revere what He created — seem to be giving up.

Weird - I thought NOM's purpose was to allow a guy who claimed to work 80 hours a week for 10 years to claim approx $500,000 per year(including benefits) in salary. It's just so foreign to me that this man is desperately asking people for more money in such a way.

If movants truly believe that providing services to LGBT citizens forces them to ‘tinker with the machinery of death,’ their animus exceeds anything seen in Romer, Windsor, or the marriage equality cases."  It's great, all of it. The bigots are too stupid to keep their asscrazy hatred for gays out of their briefs, and the court just smacks it down with "welp thanks for proving you're motivated by animus, too bad it's unconstitutional to base a law on that, (see Lawrence, Scalia A dissenting)"
