Plus, gay parents are great parents, European nations don’t have to grant same-sex marriage, an awesome 15-year-old boy is pissed that his library has no gay books, and Soledad O’Brien talks about DADT.

We recap last night’s press conference on the Prop 8 Trial’s closing arguments and affirm our personal feeling that we’ve got this sh*t in the bag, amirite? Also; Stonewall Uprising, Boy Scouts still hate gays, Rachel Maddow on the oil spill and lesbians raise better kids.

Important announcement today as top defense officials seek to end DADT — but there is one catch. And also, John McCain is cranky about it.

Not all conservatives think anti-gay policies are necessary in their platform. There’s mixed news on the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell front. A Vermont judge has ordered the arrest of Lisa Miller.
