FYI: Two Cases Still Pending Before SCOTUS

A little reminder that SCOTUS is still considering two more cases related to gay rights. Since the announcement last week of the two major cases (prop 8 and DOMA) we've sort of forgotten that gay employees of Arizona are fighting the fascist Governor, Jan Brewer, who wants to take away their spousal benefits. Her reasoning is that these benefits cost money (and a fighting a lawsuit all the way to SCOTUS doesn't huh?) and are a 'waste.'

In that case what's stopping this lunatic governor from cutting those necessary benefits from other employees who are NOT gay? Because Brewer is saying that she's cutting these benefits simply for fiscal reasons (and adherence to the Austrian school of economics) and not because these employees are gay and cannot legally marry. If that is the reason, there is no stopping this woman from destroying straight families' economic security in Arizona as well.

She must be stopped.
